The mum of a 22-year-old man who was fatally stabbed in the street has said her pain "will never go away". Zoe Cooke, of West Bridgford, said she still goes to her son's grave every morning while building a legacy in his name.
Byron Griffin, aged 22 and from East Leake, died from stab wounds in Ilkeston on Sunday, July 4, 2021. Jordan Fairbrother, Dylan Geary, Daniel Lewsley and Grant Masterson were all found guilty of his murder following a six-week trial at Derby Crown Court.
Ms Cooke is now working tirelessly to try to provide as many bleed kits as she can around Nottinghamshire, in the hope of saving lives through the vital pieces of equipment. She gave a heartfelt speech outside the Nottingham College on Canal Street where a new anti-bleed kit cabinet was installed on the wall on Monday, January 30 - along with a plaque dedicated to the memory of Byron.
