More Teen Deaths As London Knife Crime Grows
07 July 2008
Last week, another teenager became a victim of London's escalating knife crime problem.
Ben Kinsella, the brother of a popular soap-star, died in an unprovoked attack on the street.
Ironically, Ben had written a letter to Prime Minister Gordon Brown calling for more help for parents and tougher measures to halt this growing menace.
The letter began: 'Youth violence hits deadly peak. When will it stop?'
Ben suggested a key factor was the lack of respect and trust between parents and children.
