my son was murdered

my son Lloyd was murdered on 1 May 2024, (it feels like yesterday). he was 34 years old.

he seemingly went to do a (so-called) friend a favor. which resulted in him losing his life.
its been a very long drawn-out procedure, with the court case just finishing on 21 Jan 2025. The boy who stabbed Lloyd was cleared of murder but found guilty of manslaughter. and is getting sentenced on 24 March 25.
Although, The boy then aged 19, did inflict the fatal wound to Lloyd. i feel the real culprit is the So-called friend that picked Lloyd up from the pub, where he was having an after-work pint with his brother and mates. he left saying, He would be back soon.
This woman, (the friend), actually orchestrated the whole event, from before collecting lloyd till the end. when he lay in the road dying after being stabbed through the heart. she could of stopped the ordeal at any given minute , over the 2 hours this payed out forinstead , she just added fuel to the fire, winding the boy up , which made him frantic, and his rage escalated.
This woman - then walks away, as if nothing unusual had happened. in her interviews, she repeatedly changed her version of events to throw both the boy and Lloyd under the bus.
I am so infuriated that she has got to walk away, again… this is the third time someone has got stabbed concerning her. only Lloyd fatally.
she is a well known drug dealer, inc to the police.
justice? how can justice ever be seen correct, when the police lie continually, keep evidence away from you. its been a total shit show from the start.
i am so alone, and i am not finding any comfort in those around me. How can i gain peace, when the real murderer is doing what ever it is she does, maybe in a new town. maybe close by.

Hello
I probably don’t have the right words of comfort for the awfulness you are experiencing.
But my husband Martin died during the same month as Lloyd.
So i just wanted to reach out to say this.
Every day i ask myself ,several times , how Martin would have advised and encouraged me to cope with everything that is being thrown at me now.
I always know for certain that he knew i was a strong woman and this moves me to push forward but to know the importance of trying to take care of myself too. So that i can find the strength to try to do what is needed.
I hope it may help you to ask Lloyd often what he would advise you to do ,how he would have encouraged you and what he would have wanted for you now.
It’s something that i have found both supportive and comforting each day
Sending love
Kim
