Family of boy, 14, who drowned in River Thames issue plea for parents to warn children of risks

The family of a 14-year-old boy who tragically drowned in the Thames last year have called for parents to warn their children against the dangers of open waters.

Aspiring footballer Brian Sasu jumped off a bridge into the Thames at Tagg’s Island in Richmond on July 18 last year, where he had gone with friends on one of the hottest days of the year.
