Memories of Shakilus Townsend

My heart goes out to shakilus's family x x x

luvya279 Apr 04, 2012

I remember reading about shaki's death and thinking how sad but after watching my murder it really hit home just how bad this world has become .
I cried my eyes out at the end seeing his mum pouring out her heart and seeing his photos desending down to his baby photo was so upsetting .
I have 5 children myself the oldest being 14 and the youngest just 1 and all i could think is it could just as well easy be one of them .
My heart goes out his mum especially and of course to the rest of his family.
I hope kids have watched this and it has made them think twice about all this knife business and just plain evilness.
Nothing can bring him back but even if watching this program has made a few people think twice then it has not been made in vain.
R.I.P shaki .

BETRAYAL OF THE HEART: R.I.P SHAK

andrea Apr 03, 2012

He was in love, a normal thing for a young teenage boy to do but this time it was betrayal. Shaki loved a girl and because of that he lost his life. the one thing that touched my heart was, when he was dying he said," I want my mum, where's my mum. I dont want to die." this shows that he was only a child. a young child was MURDERED!
the lyrics of this song goes:
"stay with me,
dont fall asleep too soon,
the angels can wait for a moment."

unfortunately, Shaki has fallen asleep too soon and left us. he was blinded by love and murrdered in his sleep but there is no violence where he is now. he's found a better deal. my heart goes out to his family (stay strong).

Just watched my murder and it broke my heart! Your poor mum and little sisters! What happened was disgusting and that girl should be ashamed of herself, utter scum! You was far too young to die, had your whole life ahead of you, you should be here with your family and friends it's not fair what happened. Fell in love and that's what happened, what the hell is is world coming to?! Too many young boys getting taken away from us, seems your in a better place now. Your name and memory will live on forever baby, my thoughts go out to your family and friends xxxxxxxxxx

INNOCENT LOVE: R.I.P SHAKI!

andrea Apr 02, 2012

I watched 'MY MURDER' and it has got me thinking bout a lot of things. Its got me thinking bout what goes on outside my life. Sadly, Shakilus lost his life and his crime? He fell in love, but wiv the wrong girl. My heart goes out to his family and friends.im going to be thirteen in 2 weeks and i cant imagine having my life cut short like Shaki's. I feel for u, ur family and friends. Watching the end of 'MY MURDER' was very difficult and i cried. If i cried watching a fil then i cant imagine how much the family grieved and wept!
So sad that Shaki never got to find true love!
R.I.P Shaki, SHAKILUS TOWNSEND!!!

rest easy<3

Rest In Piece Shakiul

I Watched this program on bbc3 last night and it just makes me think as i am 15 yrs old, how could a person do such a thing.. i Feel for all u friends and family out there and ones who expressed there feelings on this just how heart-breaking it was watching it without knowing shaki never mind knowing him..

its such a shame he has gone..But what i cant get my head around is..just because he loved a girl r shal i saw had feelings for this girl he ends up with his own life gone without realizing she was taken.. so on my note he died for no reason what so ever an that is just horrifically terrible ....

My heart is out for all those family and friends of Shakilus Townsend...R.I.P
i HONESTLY feel for u

Watched My murder on iplayer tonight, it was so moving, brought tears to my eyes. Proceeded on to read about your story on the net, and to think that that awful girl only got a min of 10 years upsets me, they should lock her up and throw away the key! RIP Shaki only the good die young! <3 xx
