My Story
Kristian David Thompson 23-4-1992 - 10-07-2011
My Kristian , the light of our lives ,
My inspiration for being able to survive his death at the age of 19yrs due to a one punch assault.
He was intelligent, bright, happy and absolutely loved life.
He had a wonderful future ahead of him, taken away quickly by a mindless assault…. He suffered with catastrophic brain injury for 10 months moved for provision to provision with no support or help
He was moved to Northampton, away from his family and friends …….
Our life was desperate
The person that did this to our son was given a sentence of 2.5yrs for GBH he served 9 months and was free before my Kristian died
Kristian's life for those 9 months was horrendous and we felt so alone
My Kristian was found in the shower dead,
We will never get over that shining light being taken from us, I will never breath the same, or smile or laugh the same , how can I ?
We got no justice
We were offered no support but we set up One Punch UK Charity in 2014
