Ex-convict remembers London Bridge attack victim
It's just over a year since the death of Jack Merritt, a young man who had devoted his short working life to transforming the hopes of prisoners. He was murdered with his colleague Saskia Jones in the London Bridge terror attack. To mark that anniversary a former convict, Rosca Onya, has written a memorial rap song for Jack, who had been his teacher, mentor and friend. Rosca, who was born in the DRC, told us about his story and why he'd written this song.
