Family Flowers Only with Niamh McGuinness

9 Nov 2025 · 1 h 21 min · S3 E20

This week, I sit down with Niamh McGuinness who shares the heartbreaking story of her son Jamie who was tragically murdered in April 2023.

In this powerful and deeply emotional conversation, Niamh speaks about the unimaginable pain of losing a child in such violent circumstances. She opens up about the ripple effect of male-on-male violence, the stigma that still surrounds it, and the devastating reality faced by families left behind.

We also speak about the court process, the search for justice, and the strength it takes to keep going when life has been forever changed.

⚠️ Please note: this episode contains discussion of violent loss, trauma, and grief that some listeners may find distressing.
