‘Brutally taken away’
He said he ”lost everything” when his loved ones were “brutally taken away”.

“Always comes running with open arms when either mum or dad have been gone for more than a few minutes. She just yesterday asked to take a selfie. My big little girl.”
His “loving wife” Yvonne would always lighten up the room, he said.
“Always telling me we are soulmates and that she loves me.”
The family live in Norway and the incident occurred at Nowy Targ.
