I have just found out that one of my dearest friends has been brutally murdered back home in Argentina. He was working as a bus driver although his true passion was acting and the arts. Coming back home at 3am from his shift, a group of thugs approached him and shot him in the back of the neck for reasons yet unknown (they took no money or belongings from him). His father came out to find his son bleeding to death on his doorstep. I had no idea until something compelled me to check his Facebook wall to see what he was up to (we only spoke on the phone to weeks ago when he called me to say he was coming to London for a visit next March). I am beside myself thinking of his poor family and the beautiful life extinguished in a split second by some vile, disgusting low-life who has now disappeared without a trace. My amazing, wonderful, loving, talented friend has become another statistic. I am so desperately sad...

Thank you for reading...

Just wanted to say how horrible and I feel desperately sorry for you and his family. I hope they find who did it and bloody string them up. Bastards.

Thank you so much for your comments. I feel so helpless and wish I had been there to put my arms around his poor parents. I will send them a letter to let them know what a wonderful son they had. I know his Dad will blame himself for ever as my friend, who was gay, wanted to be an actor but as he needed money, his Dad persuaded him to take up a job as a night bus driver in the company where he'd worked his whole life. Of course it's not his fault but I know he will see it that way. There is no punishment in the world that would make up for what these bastards did but at least I hope they'll find them so that his family can find some form of solace, however small...
