It was Friday the 20 of August 2016, I just come home from high school which was around 10 pm, and I thought I could take a nap, fast forward 3 hours, I woke up after 3   loud banging to my dor, I was completely exhausted and stupidly opened my dor thinking it was my sister.Instead, I was greeted by a ghastly figure, the definitely mid-40s or 60s, and he asked me if I knew where I could find a specific address which happened to be the address of a victim of this man.I knew where it was, but the man through my complete exhaustion was absolutely suspicious, he was clenching his fists in his pocket holding on to something, which later turned out to be a knife, I told them I was new to the area and I didn't know where it was,and after an angry look from him, he got away.I slammed back into my bed and fell asleep instantly.I woke at 1 am from knocking again, but this time it was my sister.


She said that the man was passing up on the street and asked her and her friends to a direction to a specific house, and my sister, of course, led him too, it was the small unit wich the victim live there.Later than I could hear a man shouting loudly, and my instinct told me it was that man, but I hesitated and didn't even bother to call the police thinking it was just an argument, which was normal around there in the city.I lived with regret to this day when I found out that the victim was stabbed to death and dumped outside in the woods, cops found out that later.The man disappeared without a trace, I gave the police my description of him, it wasn't 100% percent sure because I was half asleep at the time.What I was sure, is that I could stop a murderer that night, and now I have to live with the guilt of that mans life.
