THE campaigning mum of stabbed teen Jimmy Mizen has vowed she will not be beaten by his killer’s sick raps glorifying violence. Margaret said the lyrics spat out by Jake Fahri made her even more determined to warn youngsters about the dangers of knife crime.

She also showed The Sun a montage of pictures dedicated to Jimmy in the front room of her home — less than 500 yards from where the 16-year-old was killed. Margaret, 72 — made an MBE in 2013 for her work promoting peace — insisted: “For me and my family, we will continue to do what we do.

“We will bring some good out of Jimmy’s death. I will not be beaten by this man. But that’s not to say that I don’t feel like crying today. “We share the right messages — forgiveness, peace and hope.”. We told yesterday how the lyrics of drill rapper Fahri, 35, also known as TEN, seem to contain bloodthirsty references to the 2008 murder which shocked Britain.

He was freed from jail in 2023 after serving 14 years of a life sentence for Jimmy’s murder. Margaret spoke to us yesterday standing in front of the poignant collection of almost 100 photos of Jimmy — put together by his aunt shortly after his death — at her home in Lee, South East London.

Fighting back tears, Margaret said of the tribute: “She wanted to do something for Jimmy. She didn’t know what, so she asked us to get all our photos together, and this is what she came up with. In the early days, I was thinking, ‘Oh gosh, I feel like I’ve lost all my photos’.
