Family tribute to 3 year-old tragically killed in Clynderwen farm incident

The family of 3-year-old who died after an incident at a farm in Clynderwen have paid tribute.

Dyfed Powys Police have said that Ianto Sior Jenkins was hit by a vehicle at the farm near Efailwen around 7pm on Tuesday (3 August).

Ianto’s mum, Chloe Picton said: “Ianto was my blue eyed boy, he was inspiration to life, he was a kind little boy who was always smiling and laughing. His best friend was his older sister Seren, who were always joined at the hip.

“Ianto loved going to nursery and was excited to start his first day at school in Ysgol Beca in Efailwen in September. He loved being out on the farm and going on the tractor with his daddy.

“Ianto and I had a very strong bond, he was “Mummy’s little boy” and was always by my side everywhere we went, now that’s been taken from me.

“No parent should lose a child and I would like people to respect our wishes, giving us space at this very difficult, heart breaking time.”

In a statement, a spokesperson for Dyfed Powys Police said: “An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident is ongoing and the family is being supported by specialist officers.

“The Health and Safety Executive and HM Coroner have been informed. Nobody else was injured.”
