David was was stabbed, beaten, the incident had all been over a ball kicked into a garden.
Two young boys around here were picking on Mr Martin's son and they nicked the ball off him. He came round to have a word with the father of one of them and another neighbour got involved.
In 1986 Mr Martin's father Raymond, 49, was murdered trying to save David.
I can't believe this tragedy has happened twice to the same family.
I miss you soo much X
I miss you soo much Dad I can't believe I havent been on here for about a year I feel soo guilty. So much has happened in the last year I can't write about it all but I'm sure yoo have been watching, and I know there are probably some things you have seen me do that you are not proud of but all I can say is if I have disappointed you in any way since yoo left I am sorry from the bottom of my heart, we can't all be perfect but I just want to do you so proud and I hope I do as I get older. I think about you every single day and wish I could just spend one more moment with you, and its so hard going to bed every night knowing that this isnt a dream and that every morning I will wake up and you wont be there. I miss you soo much Dad and I can;t wait to see you again some day.
All the love of my Heart

~*~ FOR A DEAR FRIEND ANGIE ~*~
PLEASE READ THIS ITS FROM
MY HEART,,,,,
I have a list of folks I know...
all written in a book,
And every now and then...
I go and take a look.
That is when I realize
these names...they are a part,
not of the book they're written in...
but taken from the heart.
For each Name stands for someone...
who has crossed my path sometime,
and in that meeting they have become...
the reason and the rhyme
Although it sounds fantastic...
for me to make this claim,
I really am composed...
of each remembered name.
Although you're not aware...
of any special link,
just knowing you, has shaped my life...
more than you could think.
So please don't think my greeting...
as just a mere routine,
your name was not...
forgotten in between.
For when I send a greeting...
that is addressed to you,
it is because you're on the list...
of folks I'm indebted to.
So whether I have known you...
for many days or few,
in some ways you have a part...
in shaping things I do.
I am but a total...
of many folks I've met,
you are a friend I would prefer...
never to forget.
Thank you for being my friend!
THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE
LOVE AS ALWAYS ~ DOT XX
miss you
hiya uncle dave just thought i would leave u a message miss u loads cant belive how long its been love u loads xxxxxxxxxx
I really miss yoo and want yoo back
Hey Dad I know I havent been on here for a very long time but it was because I kept forgettin to come on or I didnt have the time and then I ended up not actually being able to come on here any more. Anyway I can't believe it has been just over 19 months since you left. It only feels like yesterday you were taken from us but at the same time it feels like years. I really miss you Dad. I feel like I have this emptiness or this whole in my heart that I just can't seem to fill. I've tried all sorts of things, but nothing seems to be working. I can't believe I was only 14 when this happened and im 16 now WOW. A lot has happened since you left Dad. I got good grades in school according to Mum but i don't think so but considering I was only in that school for 8 months I suppose thats good and I've started college. It's great so far. It's a lot better then school. But even all of that doesn't make me as happy as I want to be because the one thing that keeps me from that full happiness is you not being here. I miss you sooo much and I miss everything about being in London. I missed everything down there, GCSE's and even Prom which i HATED. I miss my friends aswell but i mostly just miss you. Waking up in the mornings to you in the kitchen making a coffee and a bowl of cereals then going into the living room and watching GMTV until 7:30 lool. I even miss them little cuddles we had occasionally and even more I miss our arguements I know thats not a good thing to say but thats how much I miss you. Yoo know I keep having dreams about you and its always the same two dreams. One of them is we are in an amusement club and then yoo walk through the door and say 'Im Home' and the other one is Me, Sam and Jamie go to the park to get out of mums way while she does the housework and we walk into yoo and you say 'It's me and I want to come home@ and then we cuddle yoo. Then I wake up and realise it was a dream and that it would never happen because yoo would never come back, but you will always be here in spirit. Even when we get older and if me and Sam get married one day we both know yoo will be there in spirit but that isnt what we would want. We would want yoo there to walk us down the isle. Thats is what will hurt the most as I get older. Knowing yoo won't be there to walk me down the isle. I love yoo soo much Dad and I wish yoo was here with us and we were all back to our normal lives as one happy family.
I miss yoo and love yoo soooooo mcuh Dad
Love Yoo

Love yoo
WOW Dad what can i say, almost a year since yoo left us, still feels like it was yesterday it all happened. Yoo know i used to think to myself i had the perfect life. A mum and dad who love me and a sister and brother that rock even if we do argue but when yoo went that feeling and thought went. My life went into a black hole. I used to imagine yoo walking me down the isle in 10 years time but that picture has gone. I sit on my bed thinking what life would be like of yoo was still here but it hard to imagine. I cant even remember your voice anymore. WOW, christmas is going to be hard without yoo, no more traditions of yoo sitting with us opening presents and pretending to act surprised when there was a present yoo knew yoo had. I love yoo soo much and dont ever forget that.
I love yoo sooooo much

I love yoo
Hi Dad how are yoo keeping up there. I miss yoo sooo much. It was Mums birthday on Wednesday it was sooo hard without yoo, Mum said it was weird not getting a card from yoo, it was weird when me, sam and jamie had our birthdays too, we are used to the cards saying from mum and dad but they they just say from mum and it doesnt feel right. Yoo know when im enjoying myself and having fun i feel guilty because your not here to have fun with me or i just feel guilty in a way that means i dont care about yoo or remember yoo any more but that isnt true. I cant help but get them feelings, whatever im doing, whether im st school or out shopping. I miss walking to yoo after school every 3 or 4 weeks and getting a lift home after yoo had finished work. I know yoo are watching down on me and um, sam, jamie and the rest of the family and i know someday we will meet again. I love yoo soooo much Dad XXXXXXXXX
I miss yoo
Hi Dad, I haven't been on here for two weeks. I miss yoo soo much, i keep talking about yoo, yoo are always in my thoughts, yoo even come up in the middle of a conversation even if it is nothing to do with yoo. We will soon have both of them in prison, but im dreading the court case but it is for yoo so ill try my best. I will never fill that hole in my heart because that was your place. The court case is in november so hopefullt they will get put away for life. I miss and love yoo so much. Love yoo lots.

I Miss yoo
Hi Dad, This week has been soo hard without yoo. I keep having nightmares of that night yoo went. I get images in my head, i know i didnt see what properly happened but i arrived straight after it happened and that stil hurt soo much. Yoo know i still have that empty hole in my heart. I try anything i can to fll that hole in but it just seems that the only thing that can fill it in is yoo. I miss your smile, the way yoo used to look at me and joke about with me but even though things are different yoo ares till her some how in my heart. I know your in a better place but i wish that i could see your face, i know your where yoo be even if its not here with me. I just wish you wasnt takn from me soo early or even at all. Yoo was too young to be taken away, yoo had soo much ahead of yoo, maybe not to do with you and your life but with me, sam and jamie and watching us grow up and to be happy with whatever future we had ahead of us. I just wish yoo were still here. I miss and love yoo sooo much Dad.
I miss yoo dad
Hi Dad i haven't been on her for just over two weeks. Yoo know i have been listening to a song for a few days and i can relate to what the little girl says. I carry ound a picture of us because yoo were the best Dad ever. I miss yoo sitting on the setee watching Tv of a night. I miss how yoo used to tickle me. I try not no cry but i guess its okaii to cry because i miss yoo. I try but it hurts. I want yoo to come home. Ill see yoo again one day wont I? I can't sleep at night, because i think yoo will finally come home and tuck me in and kiss me goodnight. Its so hard with yoo not here. Christmas will be hard without yoo. Love yoo sooo much Dad
Lots of Love

Miss yoo soo much Dad
Hi Dad i havent been on here for a while. I've been trying to get on here for a bit but they closed the old one down and made this new one, which annoyed me. I miss yoo sooooo much. I need yoo back here with me. I remember yoo telling me it would be yoo walking me down the aisle when i get married. WHo is going to do that now? I guess Mum will have to take your place, or grandad. It wont be the same though. I wanted yoo to see me grow up and be proud of every decision i make, from getting boyfriends, getting married some day and even moving out. I wanted yoo to be happy for me and me to be happy for yoo for bringing me up as the adult I will be. I've been talking about feeling like I have a hole in my heart since yoo have gone and it just seems to keep getting bigger and bigger. Full of grief, misery, hatrid and all other emotions. Some I have never even experienced before. NOthing can ever feel that hole in. Yoo were the only thing that kept that hole feeled in. The love and care yoo had for me. I dont have that anymore so i have that hole. I was watching Eastenders last night. It was a very dramatic episode. Jase gets killed in a similar way to yoo. It moved me, brought back memories of that night when it all happened. It doesn't matter where I go, I can never get away from it. I get the pictures of what happened in my head. The soounds of the sirens echoing, the blue lights from the police cars over and over again. I think i speak on the whole family, friends and everyone else who cared about yoo when I say yoo were the best man ever. Caring, loving, funny. That will be missed. No-one espeacially Me, Mum, Sam and Jamie and the rest of the family will forget about yoo and yoo will always be in our thoughts and hearts.
Love yoo lots Dad
