Raven Jackson POV:

Well what do you want to know about him?

I mean the obvious is there in your records already, a 44 year old man who was divorced years ago with twin daughters who are now 20 at Universty themselves he was very protective of them. Yes he had an addictive personality and was a big character which to some people may feel a certain way but that is on them not him. This was one of the elements of him I loved about him.

Was he a loyal friend ? Well yes he was my rock for a number of years.

Was he intelligent? Well absolutely he was a private tutor teaching English to Foreign students outside of America, it's hard learning English if it is not your first language which a lot of people seem to forget that. Jamal was really good at teaching English to his students from all over the world. He was always switched on, knew so much.

Was he happy ? Yes apart from what we went through he was, I don't believe he did any harm to himself I knew him inside out for a number of years.

Do I think he was murdered Without a doubt with every bone in my body is shanked by this and my answer is yes I do but how and why I do not know.

Everyone loved Jamal he was so compassionate and well caring.

I mean he was also a very masculine man Jamal was and yes he had a lot of skeletons in his life hidden that I did not know. I mean yes taking the CHAIRTY we created together that came from my idea which was one of them yes.

A few months after I was told and I saw him to speak which was a heartbreaking meeting by far we were at a cross roads, that was it I suppose. Yes while I got some essence of clarity to that meeting, our friendship ended there. I never saw him again.

Then I was told by someone who was an epileptic like me the answers to somewhat made more sense to why.

The mistake I made was bringing her on board Carla from Ireland, I should have seem the cracks in her life, the weirdness that surrounded her but I just put it down to being miss understood I suppose like myself sometimes.

I should have been more patient and took things slower with EASE, I know that now, but what is important in this moment and this time, is getting this case you are working on solved, I want to help.

I want to know who murdered my ex best friend.

I do think for the case to be solved I need to share from the start of Jamal Harbi.

I think, I am ready.

I am ready to give my statement of our friendship and parts of his life I know.
