A heartbroken mother has issued a powerful warning about the growing threat of knife violence among young people after her 16-year-old son was tragically murdered. Pooja Kanda, 47, expressed her deep sorrow and frustration over the escalating knife crime epidemic, which claimed the life of her son, Ronan, who was fatally stabbed in a case of mistaken identity in Wolverhampton.
Ronan’s death occurred in June 2022 when two teenagers, armed with a machete and swords they purchased online, intended to target a friend of Ronan’s who owed money to one of them. In a horrific twist, they mistakenly attacked Ronan instead. Since his death, Pooja has been left devastated, haunted by the rise in violence that is increasingly affecting children as young as 12, reported by the Mirror.
