How easy is it to forgive the killer of a loved one? Margaret Mizen's son was killed in 2008, and she explains how she was able to forgive his killer.

In the US, Amber Guyger, the former police officer who shot dead her neighbour inside his own home has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for murder. Guyger argued that she killed Botham Jean after mistakenly thinking she was in her own flat and that he was an intruder. In court Botham Jean's brother publicly forgave Guyger, hugging her and saying that he "loved [Guyger] as a person."
