Otis Lawson says he was 'scarred' after his 15-year-old brother was killed when he was 13.
Otis Lawson was just 13 years old when police came to his home and told his mother that his big brother Godwin had been stabbed.
He explains that when he looked around at other young people who had lost loved ones to violence, their stories never ended happily: it seemed either they became victims themselves, or got involved in crime.'People take matters into their own hands' We meet him at one of his training sessions at the Lee Valley Athletics Centre in Enfield, north London, over the summer holidays, where he is coaching a small group of enthusiastic teenage boys.
Jermaine did not answer the phone. Instead, the police knocked on her door to tell her he had been stabbed.
