Piers Morgan, 52, found it difficult to comprehend the horrific nature of the murder – which saw Seath’s ex-girlfriend Amber Wright, also 15, lure him to his death, where he was subsequently beaten, shot and burned by two others – as he spoke to the child’s parents Sonia and Scott Jackson.
A grieving father, Scott was clearly still struggling with the pain of losing his son six years ago, as he bluntly told the ITV presenter what he wanted to do to Amber.
“I want to kill the b****. No let’s put this in a good way. I want to torture the b****. All of them. I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it. It would take a long time.
“I know that isn’t going to bring my boy back, but it’s damn sure going to feel good while I’m doing it,” he added.
Piers was more somber than the controversial journalist viewers are usually used to, as he told Scott he could relate.
He explained that as a father of a 15-year-old boy too, he couldn’t imagine how difficult it would be to come to terms with the reality of how Seath was murdered.
“It’s that part of this that as a father myself I find utterly obscene,” he added, before asking how Scott manages to cope.
With a stone cold expression, Scott responded: “How I want to deal with it, society says that’s a no no. I’ve been doing pretty well with this for the last six years now.”
“I can’t answer that [how he deals with his feelings], I push them down, and that’s where they’ll stay. I feel sorry for the sob [son of a b***h] who brings them to the surface again, and counselling doesn’t help.”
The episode also saw convicted murderer Amber become emotional as she admitted to Piers that she manipulated Seath, and she still couldn’t give a reason for why she had committed the heinous act.
Killer Women with Piers Morgan continues next Thursday at 9.15pm on ITV.
