💔 Heartbreaking Story: Father’s Plea After Son’s Tragic Death 💔
A father’s world changed forever when his 17-year-old son, Charlie, was tragically stabbed to death. Now, this heartbroken dad has turned to TikTok to share his devastating journey and make a heartfelt promise: to secure justice for his son and tackle the menace of knife crime.
Martin Cosser, Charlie’s dad, bears his soul on social media, telling the story of his son’s last moments and the harrowing aftermath. During an end-of-term celebration in June 2023, 16-year-old Yura Varybus fatally stabbed Charlie three times. Despite the efforts of medical staff, Charlie succumbed to his injuries two-and-a-half days later.
Charlie’s sister Eloise recalls the heart-wrenching moment she realized her brother was gone. “I can’t even describe how it feels like to watch your brother die,” she heartbreakingly shares.
The family’s grief has turned into a powerful message, with Martin’s emotional TikTok posts gaining millions of views. He vows to dedicate his life to combating knife crime and ensuring others understand its devastating consequences.
Yura Varybus was found guilty and handed a life sentence, with his gut-wrenching trial now featured in ITV1’s “TikTok: Murder Gone Viral.” The case highlights the horror of knife crime and the incredible strength of a family determined to fight for justice.
In memory of his son, Martin has established a charity called Charlie’s Promise, aiming to educate people about the dangerous realities of carrying knives. “As long as there’s air in my lungs,” Martin declares, “I will continue to tell the story of my little boy.”
Catch the premiere of “TikTok: Murder Gone Viral” this Tuesday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX to witness the full story of hope and heartbreak.
Let’s stand together in raising awareness against knife crime and keeping Charlie’s promise alive. ❤️🗡️
