She said: “I will forever cherish our friendship. The last thing I heard of Kia was on Facetime on Wednesday morning, our conversation ended with Kia saying ‘KK and I love you and little man always’, I then said the same back and this was the last time we spoke.

“We shared many memories such as play dates with Kamari, going out for food, and just being in each other’s company – I will miss her and cherish her friendship, as I’m sure others will too.”

Oliver Kay – who works at Kay’s vegetable and flower shop in nearby Meredith Road – said: “I was in bed when the news broke. I was told about it by my partner who was still at work.

“I am really shocked that it has happened so close to us.

“It’s a nice area, everybody knows each other. It will really shock the community. I think people don’t think it will happen so close to them. The fact that it is a child is really sad.”

A note signed by Kia’s grandmother and great-grandmother said: “Love you always, miss you forever.

“Always proud of your achievements, as you know, and a great little short life you gave Kamari. Best little boy ever.”

A college friend of Kia, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “I am shocked and heartbroken.”

“Kia was round my house on Saturday with her son. We had McDonald’s and we were talking about my son’s birthday party this weekend.

“Kamari was supposed to be coming along and his third birthday party was going to be next Sunday.”

Former neighbour Lisa Horne, placing flowers outside the home, said: “I just feel at a loss, at such a young age for both of them, no life at all really.”

Another resident, who lives in Swinburne Road but did not want to be named, said: “It’s really terrible. It just gets worse and worse when you know a child has died.”

Suffolk Constabulary are appealing for any further information relating to the incident. Anyone with information is asked to call the police on 101 quoting 37/12929/19.
