Murdered: David O'leary

The father of murdered Thanet businessman David O'leary has told how his hate for the killer of his son keeps him going.

In an exclusive interview with KM Group's Pete Barnett , Dan O'leary, 68, said every minute since Saturday, March 1, has been filled with anguish and determination to find the killer. He even hired a private detective to hunt down the person who shot his son.

Speaking as the sixth month anniversary approaches, Mr O’Leary said: “Make no mistake. I don’t want justice, I want revenge - an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I want this animal caged.

“I went for help to get rid of my bad thoughts. I saw a Buddhist monk in his temple in Thailand, a Catholic priest, a Rabbi, and a Church of England minister. All said 'forgive and forget’ - I said, 'never, never, never’.

“My heart is broken but I will not be broken. I will never rest until the cockroach who killed my son is burning in hell for eternity. "
