Q In my story a woman’s teenage son is stabbed to death. Who would inform her of his death? No-one is admitting to seeing anything and there is little forensic evidence. Would the mum be kept up to date with the progress, or lack of it? If so, who would do that and how often? Would this change as time passed?
