That\u2019s the sort of person he was. This is a young life gone and such a lovely life. He was full of energy and loved the kids he worked with.<br \/>\n\u201cYou\u2019re not going to find a nicer person. It was over a phone, it\u2019s just so senseless.<br \/>\n\u201cHe came to the door here and buzzed and was covered in blood. The knife went through his heart.<br \/>\n\u201cHe pressed the buzzer and my mum and dad came down and he was lying there on the floor.
