An urge to speak

I am sat in front of my computer at home, ready to work - but still distracted.

Yesterday, a social worker in Holstebro (incidentally where Jesper lived last year) was killed by one of clients. Stabbed numerous times in the chest and face. After getting out of her car to go to work in the morning. The supposed perpetrator was arrested an hour later - after she named him while struggling for her life in the ambulance. Apparently, he was angry about a job training arrangement that had been put up for him.

My stomach is one big knot from thinking about this situation.

It's absolutely catastrophic that Birhte was killed for carrying out the paragraphs of the law. A law which many social workers disagree with in the first place.

It's devastating that a young man - 28-years old - will turn to such measures because the system has failed him. He is clearly not well.

It's beyond tragedy that this young man seems to have been a Somali refugee.
