Francis, 22, was struck and killed by a vehiclein Saint-Charles more than a month ago. No charges have been laid.

Perley,of the Elsipogtog First Nation, calls on the person responsible to come forward and ignore a lawyer's advice to remain silent.

"You as a human being, you know what's right. It's ultimately your decision what you want to say.

"And if you are a good person, you'll feel it in your heart," Perleysaid as she pointed to the computer. "You'll feel it in your heart and you'll say what needs to be said."

Perleysaid the only thing that would stop the person responsible for her son's death from speaking would be fear and worry.

'Truth will set you free'

She said the only cure for those feelings is the truth.

"The truth will set you free. Free from your tortured mind."

As she held up a picture of her son, Perley said, "The point here is our son that's our son he was left for dead on the road. Our son is no longer alive. His future is dead.

"That is the pain we have to live with. What is your pain?"
