Brit grandparents finally bring daughter, 6, of murdered son home to UK after paying £9K to killer wife's Chinese family

Ian and Linda Simpson were forced into making the heartbreaking decision to bring Alice, 6, home from China without brother Jack, 8, after their killer mum's family refused to let him go.

And to bring Alice home, Ian and Linda had to pay over £9,000 in cash to the family of the Chinese mum of their grandchildren, who stabbed their son Michael to death almost two years ago.

But Alice's brother Jack, eight, is being made to stay with his grandparents in the remote region of Nanzhang.

As Ian, 69, prepared to fly home with ex-wife Linda and Alice last night, he told The Mail on Sunday: "We are overjoyed to bring Alice home but it breaks our hearts to leave Jack behind. Linda cried and asked me, 'How can we wrench them apart?'

"But in the end we had to choose between coming home with Alice or walking away without either of our grandchildren. We could have lost them both forever.

"Alice has never been apart from Jack and it's obvious she misses him badly.

"She has been amazingly brave but there have been moments when she has been in tears asking for her brother."

Ian and Linda have spent over £100,000 fighting a custody battle to bring both their grandkids back to Britain.

And as Alice comes to the UK, the Simpsons are now faced with having to tell her the horrific truth about their parents after they were lied to by their Chinese grandparents.

Although Alice and Jack were told their father deserted them, he was killed by his wife Fu Wei Wei who is now serving a life sentence for murder.

Michael, 34, was an executive at Next who lived in China for nine years when his estranged wife stabbed him in the neck to death in his Shanghai flat in March last year.

She also left Michael's new partner with lifelong injuries in the bloody confrontation.

Alice and Jack were consequently sent to live with Wei Wei's parents, who struggle to get by on an income of less than £200 a week.

Ian and Linda desperately tried to bring the children to a more comfortable life in the UK, even offering a deal to Wei Wei which could halve her prison sentence — but she refused to cooperate.

The battle remained at loggerheads until Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt raised the case on an official visit to Beijing in July.

Now Ian and Linda have vowed to keep fighting till they can also bring Jack to the UK.
