THE mum of murdered teenager Jimmy Mizen says she's "disappointed" with the BBC for playing the music of her son's killer. A Sun probe discovered TEN is Jake Fahri, 35, recently released from a life sentence for the 2008 murder of gentle giant Jimmy, 16, in South London.

The Ministry of Justice last night launched an urgent probe into the killer drill rapper whose lyrics include “watched him melt like Ben and Jerry’s”. His music has been showcased on BBC 1Xtra with DJ Theo Johnson saying he “really stands out”.

His radio tracks appear to have been censored. Margaret Mizen said: "When you're playing the songs of a murderer it's pretty bad.". She added that the MoJ has "questions to answer", describing Fahri as a "coward". "To be honest with you I feel a bit numb because when we got to hear and read the story last night. I'm still taking it in I suppose.

"Bit shocked. It's very difficult to talk about your emotions and as a family we're just taking it in.". Describing her son, Margaret went on to say: "You know, obviously there's been lots written about him over the years. But Jimmy was just a beautiful boy.
"He was known actually as the boy that sparkled as well. And he just. shone. You know, Jimmy was a shining star. "Loved by so many, loved by his teachers, loved by his friends. "Obviously, adored by his family. Although it's 16 and a half years, we still miss him greatly. We've got a fabulous charity in his name, and that's what really helps us.".
