The killing of Tom on 12 January has affected many people, as Alex said in his comment to my post of 14 January.
The absence of hatred and anger in Tom's parents, as reported today in The Times, and their determination that out of this immense loss will come good, alike deserve all our respect and support:
THE parents of the murdered lawyer Tom ap Rhys Pryce said yesterday that they pitied and forgave his killers.
John and Estella ap Rhys Pryce, who are devout Christians, said that they believed their son’s murderers were “not intrinsically evil”.
The couple have set up a trust as a memorial to their son, a high-flying lawyer with the City firm Linklaters. It is hoped that the charity, which has already received £350,000, will raise more than £1 million to help to educate impoverished children.
Details about The Tom ap Rhys Pryce Memorial Trust can be found here. Linklaters has a page about Tom here.
