Rikki Neave's sister Rochelle says she still holds their mother - who beat and neglected the six-year-old - accountable for his death despite James Watson's conviction.
Jury members today convicted James Watson of killing the six-year-old, whose body was found in woodland in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, in 1994.
Rikki was murdered in Peterborough in 1994. A constant theme in his trial was his mother, Ruth Neave's, appalling mistreatment of him.
Rikki, pictured, was found stripped naked, left in a 'star pose' and strangled in a woods near his home in Peterborough, the day after he was reported missing in November 1994.
Stuart Duffy told the Old Bailey today that he saw schoolboy Rikki Neave on the evening of November 28, 1994, around the time he was allegedly strangled to death defendant James Watson.
