At 75 years old, Roseta Bradshaw has known far more loss than most people could ever imagine. In just two years, she has buried a daughter, two siblings and now faces the task of laying her 49-year-old son Timothy Anderson Trotman to rest – a man she described as “a hustler, but a good boy who didn’t like trouble”.
Timothy was stabbed to death last December 22 while selling breadfruit at the side of the road at Review Road, Bush Hall, St Michael.
A 17-year-old boy appeared in court early last month charged with his murder.
Since his passing, the grieving mother said she had been struggling to raise funds for the funeral, priced at
