Father's memoir honours son killed defending backpacker
Les Jackson, father of British backpacker Tom Jackson who was killed defending Mia Ayliffe-Chung at a Queensland hostel in 2016, has published his memoir 'A Life Well Red' on the anniversary of his son's death. Tom's organs were donated after the fatal stabbing by Smail Ayad at Home Hill near Townsville, with recipients later contacting the family to express gratitude. The memoir explores family values, Liverpool football club, and the Australian community's support during the tragedy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
