The mother of a murderer urges her son not to appeal against the length of his sentence.

Sam Maslin, the mother of murderer Asher Maslin, says she will never talk to her son again if he does not drop his appeal against his 24-year sentence.

How does it feel to discover that your son has committed a murder? SAM MASLIN was driving home from work, listening to the radio on 18th February earlier this year when she heard that an un-named woman had been stabbed to death in a hair salon in Gloucester. She says she knew immediately that the woman who had been stabbed was Hollie Gazzard, and that the killer was Hollie's ex-boyfriend,  her son - Asher. 

We speak to Sam Maslin, in July her son Asher was sentenced to a minimum of 24 years in jail for the murder of Hollie. He stabbed her 14 times in a hairdressers infront of her customers. She tells us if he doesn't drop his appeal into the length of the sentence she will never speak to him again.
