The family of a young expectant couple who were mowed down as they walked their dogs have only an unfinished baby blanket to remember them by.
Kate Leadbetter, 31, and her partner Matthew Field, 37, were about to become parents for the first time, to a son they named Miles, when they were run over in Alexandra Hills in eastern Brisbane on Australia Day.
They were allegedly hit by a 17-year-old driver of a stolen Land Cruiser who was high on drugs, on bail for 50 other charges, and rammed another car hours before.
He has been charged with murder and several other crimes.
The family of slain Alexandra Hills parents-to-be Kate Leadbetter and Matthew Field have released a song dedicated to the couple.
The new song, titled Three Hearts , was written by Kate s step-father Tom Richter in the lead-up to the family s funeral.
He penned it as a tribute to the three lives that were lost that day .
Kate and Matthew were killed on Australia Day earlier this year when they were allegedly struck by a teen driver in a stolen 4WD.

Mr Richter struggled to think of Kate s favourite songs that could be used at the funeral, before the musician realised he should write them a song himself.
