My thoughts and the thoughts of all the investigative team remain with the family of Lincoln Button as we continue to support them through this awful time.
Claire Button, 35, from South Ockendon, Essex, appeared in court by video-link from HMP Peterborough during Tuesday’s hearing at Chelmsford Crown Court.
“It has taken a huge amount of work and dedication from the investigative team to reach this stage in our investigation and I would continue to call upon the public to refrain from speculating about the circumstances around this case.
Lincoln's family paid an emotional tribute and said: "Link was a cherished, loved, sweet, beautiful young soul who was adored by all and will be sorely missed every day.".
