Absolutely heartbreaking.
Twenty years have gone by but Lorraine remembers every detail of the day she lost her son to knife thugs. She had just put her daughter, four, down to watch TV when a friend called to say her teenage son had been stabbed near the pub where she worked in Beeston, Leeds.
Tyrone had been beaten and stabbed by a gang of around 20 people, many of them of a similar age. Four people were later convicted over his murder but many others did not face any charges. "That generation is growing up now in a world where being stabbed to death is normal. Let me ask you, what about this is normal?"
Lorraine admits feeling as though she has 'failed' her son's memory whenever she reads that another young person has lost their life to knife crime. There were 282 murders involving a knife or bladed weapon recorded in England and Wales in the year ending Mach 2022 which - the highest figure since 1946, according to the Office of National Statistics.
