CUT TO Mum’s fight for justice 10YRS after
YOUNG MUST BE TOLD OF DANGER Kristina begs killers to face up to truth and asks: Tell me why
A MUM has made a desperate plea for truth on the tenth anniversary of her son’s murder – demanding of the killers: “How can you live with it?”
Heartbroken Kristina Caesar spoke out after a decade of not knowing the full facts about how 15-year-old Adam Regis died.
Popular Adam, the nephew of Olympic silver medal sprint hero John Regis, was knifed to death in a suburban East London street on March 17, 2007.
The murder sparked a police manhunt and prompted an appeal by the then West Ham striker Bobby Zamora.
But despite ten years of trawling evidence, a £20,000 reward, a nationwide appeal on BBC’s Crimewatch and 21 arrests, the gang who stabbed Adam as he came home from the cinema have never been caught.
Now, in an exclusive interview, the teenager’s mother has told how she still clings to the hope that one day justice will be done.
Teaching assistant Kristina, 51, said: “I want those responsible to tell me why they did it.
“Your child cannot just go out and then the next thing you know he’s dead. It has destroyed my life.
“I don’t think the people who killed Adam have a heart. How could anybody live with this for ten years? How could you destroy someone’s life?
“How could you eat, how could you function? What kind of human being are you?
“It’s horrible living without Adam. The killers have had their lives but I’ve missed Adam’s birthdays, his 18th, his 21st.
“He would be 25 now and I often think what he would be doing with his life.”
Kristina still lives near West Ham’s old stadium at Upton Park, only yards from where Adam was found slumped on the ground.
He had been allowed to go on a cinema trip with friends to celebrate passing seven GCSEs and securing a spot at college with dreams of becoming a computer expert.
He was on the phone to girlfriend Rachel
