MRS FOLLETT
As Kim and Jan's mother I would like to say something.   You don't bring children into the world with the expectation that one day you will have to try to explain to them why their father was murdered.   And try to deal with the aftermath of that murder.
Kim has been very marked by it.  To this day she can't sleep in a room on the ground floor.   I think that he is a huge hole in their lives at every family event:  when Jan was married to David;  when Kim was married to Richard;   when Alexandra was born.   Richard is dreadfully missed.   You can never replace what was taken away.  So, you take away the present as well.   Fowzia was right, you take away the past and the future, but you take the present for them.   He is always there.   
I think that for Jan and here I want to pay tribute to Jan, because without Jan we wouldn't have half the facts of this case.   Without Jan a lot of what we do now know, a lot of our need to know would not have been satisfied.   Jan's way of dealing with the pain, as she said herself, was to go and find out.   And on behalf of my generation, it was my generation and the generation before mine, who were involved in this struggle, our children have had to bear the pain.   You can see the pain
  of my children today.   Let us make sure that their children are spared it.
