THE family of a murder victim have been left heartbroken after flowers and pictures were removed from his grave - and were told they are not allowed to leave personal mementos. Fabian Kacica died after a fatal stabbing outside the Forum Library in Southend on May 14 2018, aged 19. Since his death, Fabian’s family have visited his graveside at Sutton Road cemetery every day, where they would place photos, cards, flowers and lamps . But in a notice from Southend Council, families have been asked to remove artificial flowers, plaques, figurines, toys and photos from the lawn graves. Fabian’s sister, Laura, 28, said that the family were left devastated after finding the base of Fabian’s grave in the bin when they visited the cemetery on Tuesday.
