Children of PC murdered by burglars in hit-and-run are inconsolable after being told their daddy has 'gone to heaven'

PC David Phillips 'didn't stand a chance' as burglars drove at him in Merseyside
Police constable David Phillips' wife Jennifer and two daughters (above left) have been left devastated after he was run over and killed trying to stop burglars escaping in a stolen car in Wallasey, Merseyside. Abigail, seven, burst into tears after learning her Daddy had gone to heaven, while Sophie, three, is too young to understand what has happened. The 34-year-oldwas described as a tower of strength and a real gentleman by neighbours. While colleagues, who paid their respects at the scene (above, bottom right), said he was a rock and a mentor to young recruits. The chief constable of Merseyside Police said Mr Phillips stood no chance when the Mitsubishi pick-up was driven directly at him in the early hours yesterday.
..may his soul rest in peace.
