Knives are too cheap and easy to buy, campaigners have said, following the sentencing of the Manchester Arndale attacker.
Raphael Chevelleau was ordered to be kept in a secure mental hospital indefinitely after stabbing five people during the attack which caused 'widespread panic' and 'pandemonium' in the shopping centre in October 2019.
The 43-year-old, who lived alone at a flat in Blackley, bought a kitchen knife from a pound shop near his home for £1.50 and hid it in his coat before catching a bus to the the city centre and going on the rampage, the court heard.
