He were a nice man, good looking and a church go-er, he was loyal to god as much as he was his wife Ann-Marie. He's tall, around about 6'2 I'd say, not much meat on his bones but well looked after whether it was by himself or his wife. Tint of dark in his skin and bright green eyes, I could see why Ann-Marie loved him, but his looks wasn't just who defined him, he would always have a glowing smile that would stand out in the crowd, his voice was one the angels loved to listen to, never a violent side to him, never a bad look in his face. 

What made him do it? 

Ann-Marie was slightly younger, the 24 year old who always dressed appropriately and was proud to show off her perfect man, every Sunday morning they would walk in to church together, holding hands... smiling and welcoming everyone they walked by, never a day went by that they didn't show up to church.

On September the 12th 1984, He had turned up to church without his woman at his side, just him, himself and god. Many people fussed around him, "how is your wife?" He was questioned a few times, "she is good, resting at home" he would reply, everyone quickly become suspicious but not long after we was to find out... there was to be a congratulations in order, when Ann-Marie was back on his side but her stomach was much more slightly bloated, straight away people raced over to them both with glowing smiles, some didn't approve but the ones that did fluttered them with happiness. 

"Meeting the murderer" you wouldn't think it right? You'd expect a jobless man with nothing to loose but him, he had everything to loose. 

Months went by and Ann-Marie got bigger, they had broke the news of expecting their baby girl by the begging of June, although it was March and she was getting bigger and having the pregnancy struggles, she still always shown her face in the church. Since we found out, the priest would always have us sing along to a personal good luck song, ensuring our song was heard with the angels and their baby will grow stronger each day. She was looking really good, they started to look a bit more distant but I suppose that is simply what having a baby does. Having a baby plays with your emotions and the way you feel, it's life and it's a life growing inside of you which makes it worth it but I don't think he understood this when she told him she was leaving.

   Anger flustered through his mind, he felt overpowered by the woman carrying his daughter, he rang the emergency number, "I've stabbed my wife 17 times! She's lay head on the kitchen floor." He handed himself in before racing to the kitchen and killing her by stabbing her 17 times like he said. The police later turned up 

 Weeks went by, it was his trail date, he had admitted to everything and will more than likely plead guilt to murdering his wife and unborn baby. But his solicitor has other plans rather than jail. "I murdered my wife, god has yet to forgive me" head line news all over the paper, will his faith in god let him be a free man? 

   No he wasn't a free man, at least not for 18 months he wasn't. A reduced sentence for the heart felt man he was, his loyalty to god and his guilty plead. Even in prison he never missed a day of praying... did he actually make a mistake? Will god forgive such a violent crime and will he ever forgive himself?

  18 months passed, he was back out, his first mission was to go to his community church and ask the community for forgiveness. Many turned him down but many accepted, "thou shalt not kill... but thou shall give forgiveness when asked" the priest responded before shaking his hand, "welcome back, Darius" he welcomed before walking through to the front of the church where the priest then repeated loudly, "thou shall give forgiveness when asked" most clapped and agreed but others had over opinions, "thou shall not covet" a voice shallowly but confidently shouted from the other side of the church, low silence claps of agreements follow.

   Months went on and the ones who didn't forgive started to accept he is a member of their community and he does have the same love for god as they share. He was welcomed to sit where he pleased without the funny looks and the quiet judging, he felt normal again but obviously his wife and child wasn't there, but that is something he is to live with for the rest of his life.

   Years went on, all had been forgotten until one day, he was welcomed into a church holding the hand of a new loved one, her children followed behind them. She introduced herself, "Janet" to everyone to welcomed her, not a word of Ann-Marie was spoken but did she know she was allowing a murderer into her life?
