This memorial site is for Wayne Joseph Keenan known to everyone as Joey Evans. Joey was tragically
taken from his family and children on the 4th June 2000 aged 34 years in Blackpool. Joey had
moved to Blackpool from Leeds to live nearer his mum and sisters and to start a new life, he was
doing well until his so called friend turned up and began living off him, Joey was stabbed to death,
three times in the back and 3 times in his chest - by this person, and In front of three
witnesses..... Having in my possession all the witness statements, the truth was not told in court.


Oldfield had arrived at Joey's home late on Saturday night June 3rd 2000, one of the neighbours from
an upstairs flat who was sleeping with Oldfield knew he had a large kitchen knife down the back of
his jeans, she asked him why he had the knife and he told her to Kill Joey! this is in her
statement, yet it was never told to the jury. She never told Joey or told the court. While we
were in shock and waiting for the trial Oldfield was contacting her by phone from prison and
swearing his undying love to her, she told the court it was a pencil she felt down his jeans.

At 9pm on the Sunday evening of June 4th Oldfield murdered Joey, in a premeditated attack. After he
repeatedly stabbed Joey he grabbed the three witnesses mobile phones and threw them as the women
tried to ring for help, he then casually left the flat and half an hour later walked past me and my
sister Julie (Joey's Sisters) and went behind our mums home where he jumped into his car and drove
back to Leeds, Stealing petrol along his way. In Leeds he told a pack of lies and had assistance
in burning out the car and destroying all evidence, burning of his clothing and disposing of the
weapon even though he told the police he threw it down a grate in Blackpool, it was never found.


The court case was a farce - but not to us his family or his children. The murderer had been
contacting witnesses from prison, he stood in court and admitted killing Joey, when asked Why? he
cried saying he was NOT PROVOKED by Joey in any way, and he did not know why he had taken his life?
Joey could have still been here today had he been told Oldfield had a knife upon him, Joey was not
a coward and did not need to use weapons. Joey's downfall was trusting his so called Friends.

On the 22nd of December 2000 the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter with provocation and the
murderer recieved 7 years, he was walking the streets in 4 years 8 months. Justice was not served
as we the family and Joeys 3 children are serving life sentences.
Also the jury was not told that his murderer Oldfield from Halton Moor Leeds had previously stabbed
someone 18 months before he stole Joey's life. Oldfield was jealous to death of Joey, he wore his
clothes ate his food, spent his money and then stabbed him in the back.

THERE IS NO JUSTICE!

We campaigned for justice intensely after the perverse verdict was returned, We asked the Labour
Government to bring in a new law, LIFE OR A KNIFE as 7 years is no deterrent, like hundreds of other
victims we got nowhere.


Our lives will never be the same.

Reunited with his sister Lindsay Malvina Hines Keenan (also on the site)who died aged 4 months,
February 1971.
God Bless You Both xxxx


*****************************************************

I lost my son, in 2000, if only he knew, the thing that took his life was a coward and was so so
jealous of Joey, it festered in him,,,, he couldnt watch Joey getting on, getting his new passport
which {i might add} arrived after his death''' watching him with his new girlfriend,,,, and seeing
him buying designer gear,,,,while the parasite was being homed and fed by Joey, Joey was working 2
jobs while the coward sat all day in Joey's home, literaly living off him, ,,,, i hate him and i
hope he gets his cumuppance, every night i pray that he will turn the knife on someone else and it
backfires and he gets it instead,,,, but then again, he only stabs in the back, i will never get
over the loss of my son, neither will his kids and sisters, i just hope i live long enough to see
poetic justice, as we never got it with british justice!

The pain the shock was so severe,
When I heard I'd lost my son.
An Evil Wicked Cowardly act
had earlier been done.
I told you Joey, I warned you,
But it just fell on deaf ears,
Now I'm left to grieve and mourn,
For the remainder of my years.
You were enjoying life in Blackpool,
Working hard and living fast,
Nothing could have prepared me,
For when I saw you last.
My heart just broke into peices,
To see you laying there.
I gave you letters to read in Heaven,
I kissed your cheek and stroked your hair.
Oh I miss you so much Joey,
It all seems so unfair.
We saw in the Millennium here in Blackpool,
Your thoughts were oh so clear,
To clear away the debris that held
you back for many a year.
A new beginning, a fresh start,
Who could have known,
how you would leave us all with broken hearts.
34 years we all got through,
without any harm coming to you,
The Green Eyed Monster raised it's Ugly Head,
One minute you were here,
The next your dead.
So many things have happened Joey,
I wanted you to share,
Your kids come to Blackpool,
It breaks our hearts that your not here.
They look at your photo's and video's too,
But that can never compensate them
for not having you.
I look at their faces and know you live on,
And from my thoughts you are never gone.
My heart is full of memories,
With pride Joey I speak your name.
Though life goes on without you,
It will never
and can never be the same.
Always the GOOD SAMARITAN,
always a true friend,
Didn't you pay the ultimate price,
For your life on this earth to end.
Seven years have gone by without you,
still can't believe it's true,
The horrific way you left us,
It should never have happened to you.
We miss you so much Joey,
Sinead & Jack do too,
Each night they find the brightest star
and tell me that it's you!
Jack wears your working cap,
at night it's on his head,
God only knows the confusion,
Inside his little head.
Your picture is on every wall,
I'm so proud you were my brother,
The break is so large within my heart
How can I ever recover?
My memories always cause me pain,
and tears flow by the minute,
Because I know I have to live my
life without you in it.
Wrote by your mum and sisters xxxxx


****************************************


Something will remind me,
I never know just when,
It might be something someone says,
And it all comes back again.

The times we spent together
The happiness, The fun,
Once again I feel the pain
Of life without my son.

It's said that times a healer,
I'm not sure this is true,
There's not a day goes by Joey,
That I don't cry for you.

Love and miss you more than words can say,
your heartbroken Mam xxxx

**************

Our relationship was special,
We valued it with pride,
But I never knew how special Joey,
Until the day you died.

I look back on the good times,
That you and I have known,
But all the fun's gone out of it,
Doing it alone.

The photographs I look at,
Time and time again,
For a moment your there with me,
And then - That awful pain.

I'll always have the memories,
They'll go on and on,
But my life will never be the same,
Now that you have gone.

Love you always, Bev xx


**************


If I couldn't do it,
You'd show me the way,
You'd know if I was worried,
I didn't have to say.
You'd just give me that knowing look,
And I'd know that you had guessed,
Everything was better then,
You'd see to the rest.
I haven't got that anymore,
there'll never be another,
who could ever, ever fit the bill,
That you filled as my brother.

Love and miss you always your sister Julie
Miss you Uncle Joey, your niece and nephew, Sinead & Jack xxxxxxxx

ASK MY MUM HOW IS SHE.

My Mum she tells a lot of lies,
She never did before.
From now until the day she dies,
she'll tell a whole lot more.
She used to tell the truth a lot, but now it doesn\'t matter,
I died and went to heaven, her life is all a-shatter.

Ask my Mum how is she,
She'll say "Yes I'm Fine",
She wants to beg please help me,
I can't find that boy of mine!
Ask my Mum how is she,
She will say "I'm alright",
If thats the truth then tell me,
Why does she cry each night?
Ask my Mum how is she,
She seems to cope so well,
She didn't have a choice you see,
Nor the strength to yell.

You think you know the feeling, but this cannot be,
For even though you loved me,
You didn't love as much as she.

She will smile and tell you "It's OK, God has a plan
but she will turn away and cry, Cause she just can't understand.

Tell a joke and she will laugh, but she is not OK,
She wants to share the joke with me, but it will not be today.

I watch from here in Heaven, her distress, disturbs my peace,
Will someone please take care of her, and thus take care of me?

"Someday you will feel better", "Yes, I Will", she lies,
She knows this will not happen, Until the day she dies.
\"I was so lucky! I had him all those years!,
(They passed in a minute, I shed so many tears)
Ask my Mum how is she, She'll say "Thank You, Good",
She cannot tell you how she feels, Oh, how I wish she could.
Ask my Mum how is she, "I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping"
For God Sake, Mum Just Tell The Truth, Just say your heart is broken.

Ask my Mum how is she, "I'm well, I'm good, and you?"
I'll shake my head in Heaven, it simply isn't true.

She'll love me all of her life, I loved her all of mine,
But if you ask how is she, she'll lie, and say she's fine.
Her carnival is over, she stepped off the carousel,
But to save you feeling badly, She'll say "Thanks all is well"

My Mum, She's not gone mad, Yet,
But Oh so very nearly,
Don't ask my Mum how is she?
Ask how is she, really.

I am here in Heaven, I cannot hug from here,
If she lies to you, don't listen, hug her, hold her near.

On the day we meet again, We'll smile and I'll be bold,
I'll say "YOU WERE LUCKY TO GET IN HERE MUM, WITH ALL THOSE LIES YOU TOLD".
