. and now authorities are trying to cover it up By James Fielding Published: 03:07 EDT, 9 September 2024 | Updated: 03:08 EDT, 9 September 2024 e-mail View comments Peter Wallace is haunted by the last moments of his beloved stepson's life. Peter wasn't there, outside a branch of the sandwich chain Subway on a Bournemouth street, in the small hours of March 12, 2022, to witness the moment 21-year-old Tom Roberts was stabbed in the chest by Afghan migrant Lawangeen Abdulrahimzai.

But Peter, who welcomed Tom into his life as a one-year-old when he met and fell in love with the boy's mother Dolores, has seen the CCTV footage. It is seared in his memory. He can recall each agonising second of watching Tom, who aspired to become a Royal Marine, intervene in a heated row between his own friend and Abdurahimzai over an e-scooter .

'I watched the CCTV of his last moments and the last thing he did was put his arms out between the killer – I can't bear to say his name – and his friend,' says Peter. 'The fact that Tommy had both his arms stretched out meant that he wasn't protecting his body, and the killer straight away reached into his trousers, pulled out a knife and stabbed him.' GRIEVING STEPFATHER: Peter is still haunted by the last moments of his beloved stepson's life having seen the CCT.
