As Eunalia Roberts prayed to God to protect their children, they were being killed in his house of Gonzales by armed men. Today marks one year of Asha, Javon, 24, 18, and 13 years of age were shot dead in his house on the Hill so fair. The life of 68-year-old Carmen McHutchinson, stepmother brothers, was also eliminated. 23-Year-old sister of Asha, Jehial, who was also shot, escaped the attackers running at home from a neighbor of refuge.
Roberts clamoring for justice remains haunted by memories of horrendous act. Roberts believed was divine intervention that kept spending that evening on Gonzales. Instead, she decided to stay in the House of another relative. She remembered that after a hard day of work she sat in a bed, attached to his Bible, beseech God to die to keep their children safe. But it was at this exact moment, around 12. 30 hours a year ago, they were filmed several times in the range of white space.
"That day the murderers tear my heart and throw it away. They take all my children away from me, "cried Roberts. A single mother of several years, Roberts remembered many nights and days that she worked to provide for her children and to build your home. "I was a single father for years and I grow my children alone and working day and night to build my house," said Roberts. But, in a cruel irony of fate, the fruits of your labor were not to be appreciated. Unable to withstand the memories and afraid to live in a community stigmatized by gang violence, the House that Roberts struggled to build is practically abandoned. "My house just standing there and I have to work to repay a loan and don't like.
"I now and then go off the air, but can't live there".
Broken heart
Asha and her daughter of four year old Zara Sylvester were inseparable. At the time of the shooting spree, mother and daughter huddled, sleeping peacefully. Zara, who also was hit in the right arm during the attack was lucky to be alive, but use of the Member is limited, allowing you to only partially extend it. "Asha had loved his daughter too much, that she has been living for Zara," said Roberts. But the loss of his mother took a toll on the child as she constantly cries and asks to see her mother. "Zara was all to his mother. Whenever she would ask if your MOM in heaven, and when she would see her. "She break me much, she's always talking about his MOM. Sometimes I don't answer it when she ask for things. What else could I do but to keep strong? "
Pardon impossible
Forgiveness is healing a broken spirit.
For Roberts, however, forgiveness can be impossible. Say that the murder of his children completely destroyed their soul, Roberts repeatedly begged that the assassins be brought to justice. "People tell me to forgive the murderers and justice would be sure but if I have to forgive them get justice didn't feel that would never achieve".There isn't a day that I didn't study my children, "said Roberts.
She said that even if she came face-to-face with the authors that it would be a loss of words. "I still don't know that I could tell them because they don't know even if I forgive them because of what they do to me," she said.
Pain has not been stranger to Roberts.
Six years ago, his sister Sherma also lost his life to a bullet. Sherma, a worker URP and her friend Donna George, a teacher of pre-primary education, were each shot twice in the head in Carnelia Gardens in diamond Valley, Diego Martin. Husband of Sherma was a soldier and wife of George an official Coast Guard.
Women, police said, were victims of domestic violence.
Investigation opened — police

They said that the lack of forensic evidence have led to a major obstacle. Investigators initially set their hopes on samples of blood taken from the scene that were sent to a laboratory in England to be reviewed by members of particular crime unit of T & T (Sautt). But there was no positive match, suspected to be released from custody of rendering.
Flashback
