On the morning of her murder, Maria James made her sons Mark and Adam, then 13 and 11, their favourite breakfast: scrambled eggs.
Mark, now 50, remembers her turning to him from the stove.
“If anything happens to me,” she said, “make sure that Adam is looked after.”
Four hours later, Maria James was dead.
