Mother's heartbreak as 12-year-old son begged her to 'let him die'

A 12-year-old schoolboy begged his mother to let him die after he was left 'cooking' in a field following a horrendous accident.

Hunter Jory, from Sheffield, had been playing with friends on August 18 when one of the children decided to light a small fire.

This soon escalated into a massive explosion as another child threw a petrol can over the flames.

Poor Hunter was engulfed by the blaze and suffered severe burn injuries.

He managed to reach a friend's house, where his mother Kim was called. She took Hunter to a nearby doctor's surgery straight away while waiting for an ambulance.
