Il restera de Toi
Une larme tombée
Un sourire germé
Sur les yeux de ton coeur.
Il restera de Toi
Ce que tu as semé
Que tu as partagé
Aux mendiants du bonheur.
Ce que tu as semé
En d'autres germera
Celui qui perd sa vie
Un jour la trouvera

A programme about government failures as far as citizens'security is concerned will be transmitted on October 26 on BBC1 at 8.30pm with interviews of my ex husband and I. I hope many of you will be able to listen to it.
God Bless You

The programme made the point that there simply are not enough police and probation officers to make this system work. There is a small paragraph in today's paper saying that standards have dropped further since Laurent and Gabriel were killed. Only 54 per cent of cases met the level that is needed to ensure the public are well protected - that is nine per cent down on last year.

I think I am right in saying that the problem with downloading i-player outside the UK is the IP address. The BBC block the download if it is not a UK IP address.

Pamela Smith (Nov 01, 2009)

I watched the programme and was shocked to see just how inadequate the criminal justice system is here. Laurent's family show such dignity are right to sue the British government for negligence. I wish them success. Helene - To watch this programme go to www.bbc.co.uk/panorama and you can see it on bbc i player. Programme title is 'Free to offend again' . Regards Pamela

The only way round it that I can think of is if you know someone in the U.K. who can download the programme on to their laptop or a portable hard drive and bring it over to you. It can be played anywhere in the world once downloaded. Unfortunately I didn't record it not having any equipment. I can email you a summary of the programme by the BBC but this of course is not as informative as actually watching it.

Hélène Turquois (Oct 29, 2009)

I'm afraid I can't play BBC iPlayer TV, being in France... Is there any possibility to watch this programme (I only have BBC World...) ? Take care, Hélène

Today would have been Laurent's 25th birthday. Over a year later and words still cannot express how sad and sorry I am the this tragedy occurred in my country.

The webpage is a fitting tribute to this cheerful, good-natured and highly intelligent young man. We are able to see the kind of lovely and loving person he was. The images are, however, also heartbreaking and poignant. Laurent should not be known for or defined by the manner of his death but for the person he was in life and his many achievements.

What is also truly tragic and terrifying is the kind of society we live in today. My heart sinks when I hear of yet another killing due to violent thuggery. I agree that violent 'horror' films and video games contribute to the problem. Young people today are being desensitised to unacceptable levels of cruelty. I want to ask the audience and makers of this stuff how they can possibly view suffering as entertainment and why they have no empathy. They wouldn't like it if it happened to them or theirs. Unfortunately as long as it's commercially viable these objections will continue to fall on deaf ears.

Drugs and alcohol also played a part as did the ineffectual treatment of people with mental issues here. Add bureaucratic incompetency and we have a system that is unable to protect its own people and innocent visitors from abroad. That Laurent and Gabriel fell victim to these factors is both terrible and inexcusable.

Finally this is a message of love and support for Laurent's family. I wonder how everyone is coping and how Mary is. I will light candles for you all today.

God bless Laurent, his family, wife and friend Gabriel. I wish you peace.

How incredibly right you are Pamela. Everything you say is so perfectly accurate! Our society needs a big change but as long as money is considered better than love... Besides this tradgedy, we all do our best to go on living. On Laurent's birthday eve, Mary was listening to music with some friends at her flat when, suddenly, the music stopped for a few seconds and a friend of her saw Laurent sitting on the window sill ans smiling.. This kind of extraordinary contact is a great help for Mary and I. It means he is happy and when time comes we'll be together for ever. Ambre often talks about her brother and although she can't see him, she knows he is close to her. God Bless You too. Lydie Hi sister who is 11 now often talks about him. Although she can'

I found this page today. I did not expect to say anything, but I saw the photo of Laurent and his sister playing chess. And I felt so sad. For the young girl. And about the whole situation. I am sure she adored her brother and looked up to him. My sympathy to all of you in his family.
