adam broke away from the group and before they knew it, - he d gone down the road to confront them. - the bike stops, the pillion passenger sjumped off. and he stabbed adam in the neck. - this is, literally, i where it happened. and we used to use this - as a memorial before he got. we buried him. it s very raw because he was there on the floor. i not in a million years, if somebody had told me the day before, your brother s gonna get stabbed tomorrow , i d be like, what?! ouradam, he sjust a normal person who goes to work, who has his own house. little dog. he s quite happy in himself and he s got a loving family, why? but it can happen, and it s. so, it can happen to anybody.
thank you. people are always supporting us, so, yeah, onwards, and we ll keep fighting for ourjustice to come. it was a friday night, and he phoned me and he said, mum, is it all right if i stay here with you tonight, you and dad? isaid, yeah, course. he said, i m going out with the lads. so, the last things he said to me was, love you, mum . and i said, i love you, adam . and that was the last time i heard his voice. i got a phone call-
if it can happen to adam, | it can happen to anybody. myself, nic and me mum and dad went through these sliding doors, and it sjust people everywhere and the fella trying to save him, and we was bouncing up and down on his chest and there was machines everywhere. ijust remember there was blood everywhere and the smell was horrific. and we were begging them not to stop. - and they called it and said, we can t do any more . i isaid, no, please, please don t give up on him. he s a strong boy. i remember saying to the doctor, take me, instead. i m his older sister, - i should look after him. take me.
and they re carrying knives, then with the job s done, what we re doing, isn t it? yeah, yeah. all of you that can change the future. it s your generation that s going to change. thank you. it looks lovely, doesn t it? gorgeous sometimes i come here because i need a good yap to him. and sometimes i come to realise that it s real, without sounding stupid. sometimes ijust come to have a good cry on my own. our adam is a massive part of my life. - always will be.
and our adam would be, too. right, let s go. do you want to put your bag on this chair behind? afternoon, guys. the aim of this presentation is to bring something positive from the tragic, unnecessary death of adam. not only did adam lose his life, his family and friends lost a massive part of theirs, too. so, the family of adam wanted his story to be heard, hopefully to make people understand that knife crime isn t cool, and it doesn t make you look tough. it wrecks lives. this is adam s mum, boys and girls. - the lady next to joyce
