00:00I'm Sandra McMurray. My son is Jonathan McMurray. On the 17th of July, 2002, my son was sadly
00:13taken from me, murdered on that day. He went with friends and family to Wetherspoon to
00:22celebrate because he was a talented musician. He went to celebrate in Wetherspoon with his
00:30family and friends to celebrate that day because he had a record deal. He just got a record
00:36deal from somebody and he was so excited about it and happy. So he went with family and friends
00:41to celebrate. While coming back from there, the pub closed in time, they closed, so he
00:48and his brother-in-law were coming back from there. Coming back from Wetherspoon, a group
00:57of boys sitting on Glassman Avenue, there was a wall there outside of our house, jumped
01:02Jonathan. They thought they had a fight and then, sadly, Jonathan didn't expect his life
01:13to go that day. He was so excited. He didn't know that that was his last day.
01:18In 22 years, why are you now fighting for justice?
01:22Because I think now I'm fighting for justice, I'm going to media, I'm going everywhere,
01:26newspaper, wherever I can to get my story out because I think the detectives have failed
01:32me in many ways, the system has failed me, so I want to get my story out wherever I can
01:38to jog people's memories. Maybe somebody hears something about it, seen 22 years ago
01:45that people have moved out of this area and gone to a different area and would like to
01:50come forward now. So I would like to jog people's memories as the police haven't done much.
01:57They haven't even gone back, picked up the people and questioned them again. Nothing
02:03like that. 22 years, they just left it like that. So now I want to media anywhere, wherever
02:09my story can go, to get the justice I need for my son. My son needs justice. I need closure.
