The family of Robert Godwin, victim of the so-called "Facebook killer", offered in a recent interview his forgiveness to Steve Stephens, who documented on his social networks the terrible moment in which he killed the 74-year-old grandfather.
"Each of us has forgiven the murderer," said Tonya Godwin, daughter of Stephens' death victim. "We want to wrap it with our arms," she added in her conversation with the local television channel FOX 8.
"I want him to know that God loves him. We love it. Yes, we are hurt. But we have to forgive him, because if we don't, the Bible says that Heavenly Father will not forgive us, "he added.
For his part, Robert Godwin Jr., Another of the victim's children, also added remarkably affected and with tears in his eyes: “Steve, I forgive you. I'm not happy with what you did but I forgive you."
After authorities began intense persecution to find the criminal, the man decided to kill himself when the Pennsylvania police intercepted him on Tuesday morning, according to reports.
Last Sunday, Stephens, described as a portly 6-foot-244-pound man, approached his victim and shot him in cold blood, harshly ending the life of the father of 10.
The murderer, who documented his crime on video, would have assured in the clip that his girlfriend incited him to commit the terrible fact. After the atrocious event, Stephens published the images on his social networks, causing shock to users who saw the terrifying sequence.
