Speaking at a press conference in central London on Monday, Sir David Amess’s daughter Katie Amess broke down in tears as she spoke about what her father’s death had “stolen” from her family’s life.
She said: "From the moment that I woke up on October 15, 2021, my whole world was shattered beyond repair.
"My father, Sir David Amess, was not just a public servant. He was my protector, my guide, my greatest champion, and above all, my friend.
"His murder has left an unimaginable void in my family's life. That no amount of time will ever heal, and it's difficult to describe the words and to explain what life is like when you lose a loved one to murder.
"Unless you have lived through something like this, you will never truly understand it."
Katie Amess's statement came after Home Secretary Yvette Cooper rejected calls from the family of Sir David Amess for a public inquiry into his death.
