The graffiti artist who created murals for alleged stabbing victims Holly Newton and Gordon Gault explained that knife crime on his estate as he was growing up prompted him to campaign against knife crime.
Geordie Graffiti recently created a mural for Haltwhistle teenager Holly who tragically died following an alleged stabbing in Hexham town centre on January 27.
A large mural for 15-year-old has now appeared near the Sage in Gateshead, alongside a mural in memory of 14-year-old Gordon who died in hospital in November, six days after he was allegedly struck with a blade while out on his bike in Elswick.
