THE mums’ of two men who have lost their lives to knife crime have spoken openly about the day their worlds changed forever.
In June last year 27-year-old James Cromwell died of a single stab wound to the heart in Stretton Avenue, Cambridge. His killer, 25-year-old Abdul Korim Ali used the knife he was carrying after a row broke out between the pair. He is now serving a life prison sentence.
His mother, Linda Hall, hopes her son’s death will make people think twice about choosing to carry a knife. Read her story here: https://cambscops.wordpress.com/2018/02/10/knife-crime-takes-more-than-one-life-it-takes-us-all/
