Goodbye John, we love you | Features

Update: My step father has just told me that they've arrested the murderer. Thank God.

I want to thank everyone for their unlimited support, you really don't know how much this means to me. With the murderer's arrest me and my family can now focus on grieving for John, then healing :)


At half past 7 this morning, John Derrick, 43, father and grandfather died of multiple stabwounds. He was attacked at 2am on his way to his mother's house. A group started on him and one of them stabbed him in the stomach and in the head. He was braindead before he got to the hospital.

Charlie had the phonecall at quarter to 5. He was in Bristol by half past 6. John was a loved member of my family and we are all saddened by his sudden and brutal death.

I can't find the right words to describe how I feel right now. Devastated and sick and probably amongst them.

The police know who did it - it was a family but the person who actually did the murder has done a runner.

If you're religious, and even if you aren't please spare a thought and some prayers for my family who are all devastated by this.

Today's features I dedicate to him.

Rest in peace John, we all love you and miss you.

I'm surprised at how the media can get hold of something so fast.

I am very sorry to hear of the tragic loss of John.
Though it is of little comfort, I offer my deepest sympathy and prayers :hug:


Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me - (Psalm 23:4)

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord - (Romans 8:38,39)
