JONES TRIAL: THE father of one of the children of convicted killer Jane Jones is considering fighting for custody of the child.
Derek Fernandez, from Chippenham, said this week that he sees his three-year-old daughter Kira every fortnight.
He said all he wanted now was what would be best for her. Jones was found guilty of the manslaughter of her lover David MacKinnon by a jury at Bristol Crown Court last Thursday.
She was released on bail until sentencing on May 16. But the judge warned her that she would face a prison sentence.
This week Mr MacKinnon's children and friends paid tribute to the man who they remembered as a wonderful father and great mate. Mr MacKinnon's son Matthew and daughter Kate said that with the ending of the trial, they could finally close a traumatic chapter in their lives, after 11 months of anguish.
"Until now we haven't been able to put him to rest properly," said Ms MacKinnon.
