Shaquille Smith was one of the youngest victims of knife-crime last year.

He was stabbed to death outside his house in Hackney, in London, aged 14.

Today, his killers were given life sentences at the Old Bailey.

Shaquille was the cousin of a young actor, Daniel Banton (second photo) with the music and dance theatre company, Chickenshed, and the nephew of its director of education, Paul Morrall.

After his murder, the company turned its attention to the subject of youth violence and "Crime of the Century" opens tonight at Chickenshed in Southgate, London and transfers to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival on August 7th.

Hear Yvonne Murray's report on the programme tonight.
