The father of tragic toddler Ryan Onley today called for a memorial for his son after it was revealed the flat where he died is may be transformed into a dental surgery.

The Hadleigh community still mourns the 18-month-old boy, who was left to die in his cot by his prostitute mum Hayley Onley.

Today it was revealed the first-floor flat where Ryan's body was found last summer could become an extension of the ground floor dentist premises in London Road, Hadleigh.

Ryan's dad Steve Austin, 23, said: "There should be something there for Ryan as a sign of respect."
