Let us deal with our pain - Alex's mum

FAREWELLED: Alex Fisher.

The mother of Alex Fisher has pleaded for media to "stop plastering our pain all over" and allow the family time to deal with their tragedy.

Sandra Fisher, who is also the mother of the man facing charges related to the disappearance of his younger brother, posted her comments on the Wairarapa Times-Age Facebook page yesterday.

The body of 10-year-old Alex was found at Waitarere Beach a week ago after an exhaustive three-day search.

Eric McIsaac, 25, appeared in the Levin District Court on Wednesday facing three related charges.

Mrs Fisher posted her comments to a story that outlined the charges and revealed McIsaac's family links to Masterton.

"I am Alex and Erics Mother. I would Appreciate that you take your post down and stop plastering our pain all over your Pages just to sell or promote your Paper," Mrs Fisher wrote.

"I would also appreciate that no one likes shares tags or comments on this. All of Our Family Need Time To come to terms with our Tragedy."

Judge Gregory Ross ordered a mental health assessment report on McIsaac. Family, friends and community members on Tuesday farewelled Alex at a funeral service.
