Benjamin and Russell Smith were “beautiful little kids just becoming beautiful young men”, their father has told a funeral service two weeks after they were allegedly murdered.
The distraught father of two boys allegedly stabbed to death by their mother has farewelled his “beautiful little kids just becoming beautiful young men” at a funeral service just a few kilometres from their Blue Mountains home.
In a pre-recorded video eulogy played to hundreds of mourners, Nick Smith didn’t acknowledge their mother Trish Smith, from whom he was separated, or the horrendous circumstances surrounding the deaths of the boys, aged 9 and 11. “One of the things the boys always loved was their family. Their immediate family, their extended family, and even tracing their family tree right back. That was something they were very proud of.”
Hundreds of mourners farewelled the boys in Springwood, close to their Faulconbridge home in the Blue Mountains.“You were the only kids at Snoop Dogg, and there were weird looks we had a great time … I promised boys, I’ll be the loudest person, and I’ll be dancing the hardest,” he said.
