Richard Okorogheye’s poor mother

My heart goes out to Richard’s mother Evidence Joel. The way she was treated when she reported him missing was awful and you can just see the pain on her face. I’m however not sure that Sky News should be interviewing her the day after police confirmed his death. Whether or not it was her decision to speak to them, you would have thought that someone at Sky might have realised that interviewing a grieving mother on TV, the day after her son’s death was confirmed, shows a complete lack of empathy. You didn’t see Sarah Everard’s grieving mother paraded on TV, but it seems like black women are fair game. I just felt so uncomfortable watching it and had to turn over. It just didn’t sit right with me. Anyone else feel the same?
