This is so devastating. I’m always travelling on the train with my son, who is close to the age as this poor man’s son. I take my boy for days out many times on this Guildford train. How on earth can anyone be so cruel?

I just want to send my condolences. My heart goes out to the family. I can not stop thinking about this it is heartbreaking. I’ve cried so much for that poor, poor boy. I just want to send all my love to him and the family. They should bring back the death penalty to anyone that can do this.
