I don’t hate my son’s killer. But I’ll never forgive him

As CEO of the Homicide Victims’ Support Group , Martha Jabour has received many awards, but nothing sparks pride quite like the arrival of a birthday, wedding or christening invitation. “They’re all signs that life has begun seeping back into someone’s world,” Jabour explains. “When people are feeling stronger, there’s often a tendency to want to give something back to the organisation or the people within who have helped them to reimagine and recreate a new life without their loved one in it.

“The things I remember most about my mother was how affectionate, easy – going and positive she was. Mum loved a laugh and lived to take care of her kids. Her death might have been public, but she was incredibly private about how much she suffered at the hands of my father; most of her friends only found out the truth when he stabbed her to death in 2010 at the Adelaide Convention Centre, where we were celebrating Persian New Year.

“Kris was all the things you could ever want in a brother; he was kind, gentle and endlessly cheerful. Born three years apart, we remained close as teenagers, often taking long drives together, going out to events, and spending long hours talking about issues we were having in our lives at the time. He was my best friend and I thought we had all the time in the world.
