The mother of a Harry Potter star who was stabbed to death keeps to the same heartbreaking ritual every day as she wakes up and kisses a picture of her son while the kettle boils. Rob Knox was 18 when he was murdered on the street in south east London while protecting his brother on May 24, 2008, the Mirror reports.
The teen had just celebrated the end of filming for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which he was 'thrilled' to be cast in as Ravenclaw student Marcus Belby. Now 15 years on his mum, Sally Knox, has opened up about her insurmountable grief ahead of a new ITV documentary about her son's murder.
She said: "I get up every morning and give him a couple of kisses. The awful feelings and wanting to cry all the time does get less, although it never goes away." Rob who would now be 33 was killed by Karl Bishop outside a pub after the thug threatened to stab his younger brother, Jamie and the brave teen tried to stop him.
