Plymouth shooting gunman's family pay tribute to devoted mother
Jake Davison killed five people and injured two others, during a mass shooting in Plymouth, in August 2021
A statement from Josh Davison, the gunman's brother, said his whole family was appalled by what had happened.Three-year-old Sophie Martyn, her father, Lee, 43, Stephen Washington, 59, and Katherine, also known as Kate, Shepherd, 66, all died on the evening of 12 August. An inquest into the death of Davison, who turned his pump-action shotgun on himself, is being held separately and is scheduled to begin on 20 February 2023.
A statement written by Ms Davison's son Josh on behalf of himself, his sister Zoe and their extended family was read to the hearing.It said: "Mum was a complicated person and a contrast of many different things. "We're grappling to understand what happened and manage our own health… even deeper than that, we think we share the feelings of despair, hurt and loss of the Martyn, Washington and Shepherd families, knowing that it was a member of our family that was responsible for their loss.
Mrs Martyn said her husband was a family man who was adored by his children and Sophie was a "typical redhead" who was always in charge and "fierce".
