The bad "V"
Sounds about right. My sister was murdered by her boyfriend 16 years ago. The next morning the local press were at my mums door. Obviously they got told to do one. Then a couple of days later a popular UK magazine came calling wanting a story. My mum said no over and over for about 4 or 5 weeks. ‘Fair enough’ said the journo. About another week after he returned, mum said no again so he said ‘well it doesn’t matter, we’ve got our story’. He then proceeded to show us this story from a bloke who “knew” my sister in the pub we all used to frequent. Well it was full of shit as you can imagine, painted her in a real bad light which was a load of shite. So they were going to run with this. So we felt backed into a corner really and had to do one- a real one. So you can imagine how that went down locally…. Feckin hell they’ve sold their story blah blah blah. Well, any money made from it went towards a headstone amd my mum gave the rest to a charity called SAMM (support after murder and manslughter). The press are utter cnuts. Shameless. I know what this family are going through and why they’ve got ahead of the curve with their press release.
Fecking hell I'm sorry to hear that but thanks for sharing as it shows a different side to this type of situation and the crap their family must be going through.
