The father of a 10-year-old boy found dead in west London has paid tribute to his “beautiful, bright, inquisitive and artistic child”.
Dean Freeman, a celebrity photographer, said he could not “begin to comprehend” the loss of Dylan Freeman, who was discovered at a property in Cumberland Park, Acton, on Sunday.
The boy’s mother Olga Freeman, 40, appeared before magistrates in Uxbridge on Monday charged with Dylan’s murder.
Mr Freeman’s representative said Mr Freeman was in “Spain when he heard the shocking and heart-breaking news, and is beyond devastated”.
They added: “He was a loving and caring father and even though divorced for a number of years, he cherished all the quality time spent with his son.”
