Alex Hanscombe’s powerful, inspirational account as seen on This Morning, BBC Breakfast, Newsnight and in The Sunday Times, Mail on Sunday and The Sun.

‘I was the most famous child in the British Isles…’

The stunning and heartbreaking story of the young son of Rachel Nickell – who witnessed the brutal attack on his mother and whose childhood was shaped by the media storm that followed. A coming-of-age story that begins with a tragedy but ends in optimism, forgiveness and peace.

On a beautiful July morning in 1992, just three weeks before his third birthday, Alex Hanscombe and his young mother, Rachel Nickell, went walking on Wimbledon Common. Life was never the same again. Shortly after ten o’clock that morning, Alex was discovered by the side of his mother’s body – she had been assaulted, stabbed forty-nine times in a frenzied attack, and left dead. Alex was the only witness to the attack.

Letting Go is Alex’s heartbreaking account of that morning, the aftermath, and the devastating effect on his father, the extended family and the wider community. Alex tells the story of the resulting media storm, the legal cases following and the peace and understanding that he has now found, as a young man. In telling his story, and the truth, this is the last stage of Alex’s incredible journey to letting go.

Outstanding
Alex as the author and reader gave this depth and also factual footing. I was engrossed in his honesty in his reflections on his grief, his love for his father and his actions to protect him. Most of all Alex's way of finding peace in his views on justice were heroic, mature and honest. What an amazing young man. I learnt a lot from his outlook then and in his reflections.

A thoughtful and reflective read

Alex was a toddler when his mother was murdered in front of him. he has written this book to explain the long term damage and pain both he and his father suffered while they syruggled to cope with this dreadful attack. The realisation that the police went to after the wrong man and how finally DNA evidence showed that the man who was the murderer had gone on to commit further horrific attacks. He writes honestly, openly and transparently. he reads this book as well which gives it a deeper meaning and understanding. excellent book. Brutally honest and excellent because of this.

An emotional rollercoaster true ßrory

This hs been a real roller-coaster, entering the life of a small child who had just seen some stranger take his mother's life in front of him, in a park that anyone walks by and uses, and grows up to be a wonderful guy. I really do wish none of the tragedies in this book on my worst enemy, but it is often the dark times that turn us into better people, provided we can use those times wisely (of course).
I can understand some of these situations in everyday life, having been raised by a single father myself at one point, and it's really hard to get by without noticing that, especially when most of your friends have both parents in their lives.
Some of these moments were funny, some were sad, others were a bit interesting. But it's compelling, the story of an only witness to his mother's murder and his life, and it's also refreshing that the book is about Alex's life, not just about the true crime aspect of the case, but also about him living his life.

A Very compelling experience
