Community gathers to remember boy killed by tree

Friends, family and neighbours attended the fundraising event to remember Kamil

Friends and family gathered together to remember a teenage boy who was killed by a falling tree.

Kamil Hubert-Ziolko, 16, was clearing bushes at a property in Carlton-in-Lindrick, Nottinghamshire, when the incident happened on 15 June.

On Saturday, hundreds of balloons were released into the air in Kamil's memory at a fundraiser for his funeral.

Police previously arrested two men aged 28 and 31 on suspicion of manslaughter and a 28-year-old woman on suspicion of assisting an offender, who have all since been bailed.

The event for Kamil was held at Carlton-in-Lindrick Social Club.

Letters to the teenager were shared and T-shirts printed with tributes were worn by friends.

The tributes read "Forever 16".

One friend wrote in her tribute: "You had one of the kindest hearts. We are all absolutely heartbroken."

Another said the teen "always had a smile" on his face.

Chloe Peake, 24, said she attended the fundraiser out of respect for Kamil's loved ones.

She said: "Kamil was a well-known and loved part of the community.

"His life will be celebrated and remembered for years to come."

Outwood Academy Portland in Worksop, where Kamil went to school, previously said it would work with students to find ways to celebrate his life.

Meanwhile, a Go Fund Me page campaign has raised more than £9,000 towards the teenager's funeral costs.
