The daughter of an elderly man whose murder was recorded in a Facebook live video has forgiven her father’s murderer and says that through her testimony of forgiveness, people are coming to faith, it was reported in April.

Debbie Godwin, the daughter of 74-year-old Robert Godwin who was murdered in Cleveland, Ohio, while his assailant streamed the crime on Facebook live, made news when she did an interview and expressed her forgiveness for her father’s killer.

‘I just would want him to know that even in his worst state, he’s loved by God. That God loves him, even in the bad stuff that he did to my dad. That he’s still loved,’ said Debbie Godwin in the interview.
