THE grief-stricken father of shooting victim Meshack Bernard-Brown today spoke of the "rawness" his family feels after two months of hell since his son was murdered. Andrew Brown talked about his beloved son as the family prepares for his funeral tomorrow after he was gunned down in a Birmingham street on his 20th birthday. The funeral will be held at the New Testament Church of God, in Lozells, conducted by Bishop Derek Webley, followed by burial at Witton Cemetery.
"We are still feeling very raw because we have gone through two months of hell, but at least now we can lay Meshack to rest," said Andrew, aged 44, of Handsworth, who is separated from Meshack's mum, Mandy Bernard.
