"My family and myself were filmed during the hardest days of our lives also the elite murder squad as they searched for my mum and brought her the best idea of justice our system has to offer.

"We got a preview of this documentary a few weeks back it’s not the easiest thing to watch but for those that make up what they don’t know or simply loved my mum and was part of her life then I’d give this a watch.

"She deserves all the recognition in the world. It’s my mum people should remember not the animal behind her horrible death.

"R.I.P Mum. Hope we’ve done u proud."
