The mum of Connor Brown has spoken out after Jack Woodley's murderers were sentenced saying "no sentence is ever enough".
Connor, 18, was fatally stabbed in an alleyway near Sunderland's Gatsby's pub in 2019 after stepping in to help others, with his family setting up the Connor Brown Trust to raise awareness of knife crime. But sadly this would not be the last young life lost to knife crime in our region.
In Houghton-le-Spring, last year, Jack Woodley lost his life at just the age of 18 after he was surrounded by a mob of teen strangers and then stabbed in the back. The ten lads, who were aged just 14 to 18 at the time, were convicted of murdering Jack and were all handed life sentences last week.
