Heartless thieves broke into a young mum’s house the day after she died and robbed everything she owned – leaving her children with nothing.

Kim Lomas’s devastated children now have just a few photos to remember her by.

Kim’s distraught mum Grace, 58, said: “They must have known Kim had died and her house was empty.

“Whoever did this can only be described as dirty, underhand, lousy, thieving scumbags.”

Police are investigating the cause of Kim’s death after she passed away at her East Kilbride home last month.

Sean has autism and kept a PlayStation and TV at his mum’s for when he was there. They’ve been stolen along with all Kim’s jewellery and even her clothes.

“When the girls turned 18 I could have said to them, ‘Here’s your mammy’s wee necklace or wee pair of earrings’. But there’s no keepsakes to give them now.

“Kim’s funeral is on Thursday and it will just be me and the kids there because of coronavirus.

“The kids will be there because they’ve been left with nothing else. They need to be able to say goodbye to their mum.”

Reading this story this morning broke my heart. This is the lowest of the low and my heart breaks for the children. Not only have they lost their mother they have lost everything they had

I run a charity called Through The Fight Foundation and have set up this page to give something back to the children. If we can replace the items that were stolen and give them something nice at the end of it then that will be a tiny contribution at such a tragic time

My thoughts are with the family 💔
