My sons name was Eddie Jones and he died at the hands of a thug called Danny Vella on the 11th December 2006.He was 25 years old.He was a waterman on the river Thames and was destined to take over the business of running a party boat on the Thames.He lived at home with us, his parents in Bexleyheath in Kent.He leaves an older brother and a sister and a 6 year old daughter.
He was brutally murdered on his way home from a night out in the pub.
He was a lovely bloke.
All his friends have called him a gentle giant.
He did not have one vicious bone in his body.
He was everybodies friend.
The thug that committed this appalling murder was actually out on licence from Feltham Young Offenders institution for grevious bodily harm in 2006.He did 14 months of a 3 year sentence and was deemed safe to be let out on the streets after serving 14 months.
It was his 4th conviction for assault and grevious bodily harm.
I would like to meet the panel of do gooders that let this filth back onto our streets and tell then that as far as i am concerned, they have as much blood on their hands as the filth that actually murdered my son.
Who are these people that play russian roulette with people lives by letting out violent thugs long before thier custodial sentence is finished in the hope that the person has been rehabilitated!This thug has a long history of violence and how he was allowed out so early is beyond belief!
My son was everything to us.Its like having your heart ripped out knowing i am never going to see him again.You should never have to bury your children.They should be burying you.
I hope to God that when this case goes to trial that he is given a life sentence and that he serves a life sentence.
I know he will not as life in this country probably means 10 years or so.
We need to bring back capital punishment for murder and other violent crimes.With the breakthrough of DNA these days there should never be mistakes made and the scum that do these appalling crimes should be sentenced to the death penalty.My family are serving a life sentence now and this scum is living and breathing albeit in a prison cell but he has a family that can go and visit him and he will have a life once he is released from prison.
My son is dead!

Miss you so much
Hey Ed
Its that time of year again - got visions of you in the Moon 5 years today - with your mates living your life. So wish I could have been there but have great memories of the day before - we didnt have a single row even though we had been together all day!!! You even ate most of the food i was cooking for the boat! Little Ed says night night to you every night on his way to bed. He is so like you Ed - eats everything in sight and even laughs at his own farts!! He's only 2!!!!
Well Ed I miss you mate. It still dont feel normal even after 5 years - dont think it ever will. We rowed all the time but would've done anything for eachother - my little brother xxx
Uncle Kev really poorly Ed - look out for him for us xxx
Love you Ed just wish I could have told you how much xxxxxx goodnight little brother xxxxx
from mum and dad
Hello Ed Mum here

Jordan is growing into a lovely girl and so much like you.
From the burping and farting to eating everything in sight!!
She is your double.
Baby eddie is gorgeous and you would ahve loved him Ed.
Its your 30th on the 26th March so we will be having a drink for you.
Hoping to get as many family members as possible to join us.
The boat should be coming out the yard soon Ed so hopefully be back at work.
getting a little bored with nothing to do at the moment.
Leah and danny send their love and kisses.
Love you so much xxxxx
