‘We hope Graham’s death will not be in vain’

THE family of Graham Parish, who sat through the six-day trial, said they hope the case will highlight the dangers of drink.

‘We hope Graham’s death will not be in vain’

In a statement his parents, David and Julie, and sister Jess, said since becoming a father, Graham rarely drank and had restructured his work in order to spend more time with his family.

“Unfortunately this rare opportunity to ‘let his hair down’ resulted in his death and left his young family fatherless. Graham brought us great happiness throughout his life and is sorely missed. We realise we are not the only family that has been affected by this case and that it has impacted and had repercussions for other families too. We hope that this case will highlight the dangers of drink and if it can prevent any more deaths, we feel Graham’s death will not be in vain.”
