Heartbreaking story

Heartbreaking story. I only hope lessons can be taken from this and laws changed to better support and protect all who witness serious crime.

Great journalism and sensitively reported.

Heartbreaking

Only on 4th episode, but this is an important story and I hope it can bring about real, necessary changes to protect the vulnerable in cases like this. As a white Brit I feel ashamed that institutional racism & class bias is still so strong.

What a terrible loss to society of such a good, brave young man. My heart goes out to his loved ones.
