A Year Of British Murder

The first murder case I ever covered, as a teenage reporter on a weekly paper, was carried out by a youth my own age who had stabbed a complete stranger to death, at closing time, with a serrated fishing knife.
Talking off the record to one of the solicitors later, I commented naively that I couldn't understand why the killer had done it.
He said: 'He'd been flashing that knife round the pub all night. Of course it was going to get used.'
After his 15-year-old son Quamari, was stabbed by a youth, also 15, Paul Barnes led a march against knife crime
Mr Barnes described the sense of disbelief as an A&E surgeon told him: 'We did everything we could'
Quamari's mother Lillian also featured in the Channel 4 documentary to speak about the loss of her son
The lawyer wasn't talking about bravado or machismo.
He meant that when a young man carries a knife, even if he says it's for show and self-defence, the weapon is constantly crying out for blood.
Those words kept coming back to me as I watched A Year Of British Murder (C4), a sensitive two-hour survey of the impact that violent killing has on those left behind. Seven of the 11 cases involved knife crime.
Last year, Gillingham teen Kyle Yule was set upon by five youths 'obsessed with knives'.
The enormity of his death was brought home as the camera followed his little sister, about five years old, who was simultaneously bewildered, scared, angry and traumatised by his loss.
Following a separate tragedy, Paul Barnes led a march against knife crime after his 15-year-old son, Quamari, was stabbed by a youth, also 15, who left him bleeding to death in the middle of the road.
Marinela Sirbu also shared her story about the loss of her son in Channel 4's A Year Of British Murder
Emma and Tony, the parents of murder victim Jordan, also appeared in the Channel 4 documentary
Paul, an eloquent man, described the sense of disbelief as an A&E surgeon told him: 'We did everything we could.'
Disbelief was the most common emotion, though in many instances the cameras arrived months after the crime.
The mother of 28-year-old J.J. McPhillips was in a stand-off with Islington council, who wanted to remove the shrine of photos and flowers she tended in memory of her son.
The memorial was a tangible way of celebrating his life and, at the same time, proof of the impossible fact that he was now gone.
By linking the cases with landscape scenes — waves breaking on a beach, crows cawing over a ploughed field — the documentary conveyed the sense that, for these families, time was passing in the far distance.
No story was more poignant than the briefest of the 11, an account of the killing of six-month-old Ruben Sweet-Harris.
The baby suffered injuries similar to a car crash victim when he was shaken by his father.
'It feels like a very strange TV episode that I don't have the script for,' said his mother, Aisha Harris, 20, of Plymouth. 'I know what's happened, but I don't think it's real.'
That sense of dislocation and unreality in the face of murder is vividly evoked in the dreamlike True Detective (Sky Atlantic).
Set in Arkansas, in America's deepest redneck country, True Detective opened last week with an ambitious double episode
The episode revolved around the hunt for an abducted child and starred Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali
The drama spans three investigations: the original manhunt in the Eighties, a case review ten years later, and the making of a 'true crime' documentary today
Set in Arkansas, in America's deepest redneck country, the fictional drama opened last week with an ambitious double episode.
The story of the hunt for an abducted child, kidnapped by the man who killed her young brother, stars Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali and spans three investigations: the original manhunt in the Eighties, a case review ten years later, and the making of a 'true crime' documentary today.
Ali is utterly convincing at every age, thanks to incredible make-up.
The story is slightly less assured: it seems a blatant remake of the show's first season in 2014, the one with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey.
Since the second series was such a stinker, you can't blame the producers for going back to a tried-and-tested formula. It just feels a little cynical.

Talking off the record to...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
