On forgiving her son's murderers
On July 29th last year 18 year old Anthony Walker was brutally murdered by two young men from the same area of Liverpool in which he lived. Four months later Michael Taylor and Paul Barton were sentenced to 17 and 24 years in prison for his death.
Anthony's mother, Gee, took the nation by surprise when she publicly forgave the young men who had taken her son from her. It was Mrs Walker's extraordinary poise and lack of bitterness that took the attention. It shone like a beacon in a world more used to recrimination. It even robbed the killers of notoriety.
Martha talks to Gee about loss, forgiveness and moving on.
