Comforting the Fans of my Murdered Son
Joshua Ribera, aka Depzman, was a rising star in the UK's grime music scene. He had scored a number one hit on iTunes with his debut album before his 18th birthday. A few weeks later, he was murdered. His mum, Outlook Inspirations nominee, Alison Cope, invited his devastated fans into her home and her life to help them grieve his death. She now travels across England campaigning against knife crime.
Alison appeared on Outlook 22nd August 2017.
