‘This violence has to stop’

Mother pleads for end to violence as Huddersfield teens jailed over schoolboy stabbing

Fifteen year-old Khayri Mclean was stabbed to death walking home from school in Huddersfield. His mother Charlie pleaded for an end to knife crime, as his teenage murderers were sentenced to life.

Jovani Harriott, 17, and Jakele Pusey, 15, stabbed Khayri after ambushing him outside North Huddersfield Trust School last year. They will serve at least 18 years and 16 years respectively.

Nick Robinson spoke to reporter Annabel Deas, who interviewed one of the murderers when he was 11, and Alison Lowe, Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime in West Yorkshire. Justin Webb spoke to Sophie Simpson, Co-founder of Conscious Youth – she knew Khayri and is good friends with his mother - and AJ, who's 15 and attends Conscious Youth session.
