00:00This has been a painful and deeply traumatic chapter in our lives.
00:06No verdict or sentence can bring back our son Daniel, who we loved so dearly,
00:12but we are grateful that justice has been served.
00:17Daniel was taken from us in a way that no family should ever have to endure.
00:23His life had so much potential ahead.
00:26He was gifted academically, was kind and had a generous spirit that touched everyone who knew him.
00:35We carry that light with us even in this dark time.
00:40We want to express our deepest thanks to the police, prosecution team and all those who work tirelessly to seek the truth.
00:50Your dedication has meant more than words can fully convey.
00:56To everyone who supported us through this ordeal, friends, family, our church, our workplaces, our children's schools and even strangers.
01:09Thank you. Your love and support has been a lifeline.
01:14We honour Daniel's memory, not in the shadow of this tragedy, but through the love and happiness that he brought to us and all those who knew him.
