Arguably, the most well known recent stabbing incident is that of Stephen Lawrence, who was stabbed on the 22nd April 1993. He died due to blood loss from his wounds. He was stabbed due to his skin colour.

An account of someone who stabbed his friend was the case of Tyrell Anderson and Tommy Winston. They grew up playing football together and created a bond that should have lasted forever but Tommy owed Tyrell £20 so Tyrell stabbed him three times and left him for dead. A week later Tyrell handed himself in but before that he left a note at the memorial for his friend that said “I’m so sorry to end your life Tom you were one of my best friends. I didn’t mean to please believe me only God knows why this happened” He was found guilty of murder and given a 13 year sentence before being considered for parole. Tyrell Anderson will have to live with killing his friend for the rest of his live. If teenagers were more aware of how dangerous knives were, maybe things like this wouldn’t happen. Hopefully this will start to open the eyes of the government which have been tightly shut.

We can make new laws to keep the amount of knives out on the street to a minimum or even better make sure there are no knives on the street. Parents can look after and watch over their kids more to make sure everything is ok so the kids don’t get into situations that they can’t control and may regret for the rest of their lives.
