The mother of murder victim Dekimo Martin is tomorrow holding a community get-together to mark the first anniversary of the day he was shot dead.Movita Martin is hosting “Mothers Against Senseless Killings” at Smith’s Parish Community Field, Devil’s Hole, from 2pm.She hopes other grieving families, especially mothers, will attend the event, which includes live music, an open mic session and fun activities for youngsters.Mr Martin, 24, was shot three times in the chest at close range by his close friend Kevin Warner at his family home in Somerset on May 28, 2011.Yesterday, Mrs Martin said she still finds it extremely difficult to come to terms with her son’s death, even after Warner was found guilty of premeditated murder last week.“It’s the worst thing that any mother could go through,” she told The Royal Gazette. Your child gets sick or is not feeling well, it upsets you.“For them to be murdered, I can’t even explain, I’m still trying to figure it out for myself.“You are empty, you are questioning yourself. Did you do the right thing? What have you done? What shouldn’t you have done?“But that’s not going to change anything. Children grow up with their own mind, no matter what you say, no matter how good a person you are.”Mr Martin is one of 16 men murdered since May 2009; shortly after his death he was described by then Government Senator Marc Bean as “a brilliant young man”.Mr Bean said at that time: “He was one of the more intelligent youths that you will meet. And sometimes that intelligence led him astray, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that he was (smart).”Mrs Martin reflected yesterday: “He had so much potential. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for nobody.“I don’t understand what this is all about. Don’t take him from me like that because, no matter what, he didn’t deserve that. None of those boys deserved that. It sickens my heart but then you can’t give up.”She said tomorrow’s event aims to make something constructive out of a terrible situation.“I’m trying to be positive. We have to be part of the solution, not part of the problem,” she said.“I started out doing something for my son, but then I thought I would include all the mothers.“It’s not going to bring my son back, it’s not going to bring any of the boys back. But I’m hoping it will bring people together, everyone coming together as one because it affects the whole community.”Mothers Against Senseless Killings is being organised in conjunction with the Young Progressives and attractions for youngsters will include a fun castle, face-painting, popcorn, cotton candy and snowballs.
