Speaking at the inquest, Kaden’s mother, Lisa Mallet, described hearing a smash then seeing the barrier – which was being used as a queue divider – on top of Kaden. She said that at first she thought he was quiet, before realising he was not moving.

Student Niamh Gillespie told the inquest she was standing behind Kaden and his mother and sister as they queued for the till. She said the second time he tried to swing on the barrier she saw his feet slip and it fall on him.
