Mums of Murderers’ second episode explores shocking Collin Reeves case

BBG News

In this fresh true-crime video series titled “Mothers of Criminals“, produced by Best, we delve into the challenging experiences and societal perceptions encountered by mothers whose offspring have perpetrated heinous acts.

As an ardent follower, I’d like to share that the intriguing show, meticulously crafted over a span of 18 months and ably helmed by Nick Ferrari, delves into the stories of four remarkable women. Their children, unfortunately, have been found guilty of murder.

Yesterday, I was thrilled to catch the second episode of our series, which is now available for your viewing pleasure above. In this installment, we have an enlightening conversation with Lynn Reeves, whose son, Collin Reeves, a former soldier, tragically took the lives of his neighbors following a heated dispute over parking. The interview delves deep into the events that transpired and offers insights into the complexities surrounding such a heartbreaking situation.

Lynn posits that the traumatic experiences from Colin’s 15-year tenure in the Army, particularly his latest deployment to Afghanistan, are likely what led to the unfortunate incidents.

Although he managed to conceal it, it was clear he was in immense pain,” she remarked. “He found it impossible to sleep, and even the slightest loud noise would distress him. He had endured a deep trauma that he couldn’t shake off. He had never opened up about his struggles to anyone, and I only learned of this during the trial. It weighs heavily on me that we didn’t notice his suffering. Collin may have faced difficult circumstances, but he isn’t an evil person.

As a gamer, I find myself backed up by the police recording from the custody hearing. In that situation, I seemed bewildered, explaining to the officers that I was “simply carrying out my duty” and it was all part of an “operation”.

Lynn stated, “I believe it’s inappropriate for them [former soldiers] to receive a form at the end of their service – sign here, check these boxes. These men are trained to suppress their feelings and handle difficult situations, so they might not seek help when needed due to this conditioning.

As a dedicated gamer, I can tell you from the Ministry’s perspective, we’re all about fostering a gaming arena where everyone feels secure and supported. We make sure top-notch mental health resources are accessible to all players, ensuring their wellbeing remains a priority.

Veterans ought to receive the aid they rightfully deserve, and in England, they can secure specialist healthcare through Op COURAGE within the National Health Service (NHS). Furthermore, veterans can tap into specialized mental health services regardless of their location across the United Kingdom.

The Military Organization (MOD) ensures that active duty members undergo compulsory mental health education. Additionally, they offer a round-the-clock helpline equipped with stress management guidance following traumatic events. Furthermore, they guarantee ongoing mental health assistance even after leaving the service.

Every Tuesday, you can find “Mums of Murderers” on Best’s YouTube channel. Additionally, it’s also accessible as a podcast on various popular platforms.
