“It was a response to a lady screaming kidnappers that made them all leave the Kingston Jo eatery to come out to know why the lady was shouting kidnappers.
“You really needed to have known him. He was a very gentle boy. Some of the video clips will carry in summary the kind of person that he was.
“While the gunshots were fired towards the group the video clip shows that he was walking behind them all. He wasn’t intrusive at all.
“It was just unfortunate that he happened to be a victim in the group. All we are asking for is justice and what these people have done to us should be done to them.
“He was gentle, intelligent, full of future, the family had a bright hope concerning him and it is very unfortunate that someone like him died at a very tender age.
“He’s a very gentle boy, listened to home training and we trained him well.”
