Meeting With Ministe Set to Call For Family Justice
|
Rob Wilson, MP for Reading East, will be leading a delegation of families, whose lives have been devastated by knife crime, to meet with the Solicitor General, Mike O'Brien QC, and the Minister of State at the Home Office, Tony McNulty, on Wednesday 13th December.
The families have all suffered considerable pain and anguish and feel that the Criminal Justice System has let them down. Most have lost loved ones, or had them critically injured, in senseless unprovoked attacks by knife wielding thugs. The meeting is part of a campaign, 'Knives Cost Lives', which calls for tougher sentencing for knife murders and for carrying a knife, plus better education for young people about the risks of carrying knives. The campaign was started by Lucy Davis, sister of Scott Davis (who was brutally stabbed 9 times and died of his injuries in Reading Town Centre), and her local MP Rob Wilson. The campaign has already met with the Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer, in July during which he openly wept as the families recounted their stories. The meeting with the Solicitor General will take place at 1pm in his office at 9 Buckingham Gate, SW1E 6JP and the meeting with the Home Office Minister at 4pm at the Home Office, 2 Marsham Street, SW1P 4DP. There will be an opportunity for photographs at 3.50pm at the entrance to the Home Office. There will be opportunities to interview some of the participants: Mr & Mrs Culshaw & Ian Culshaw: Ian’s brother, Liam Culshaw, who was 18 yrs old, was brutally murdered on March 13th 2006 in Liverpool, where the family live. Two youths, one of whom was involved in Liam’s death drove a motorcycle onto the front lawn of Liam’s family home and proceeded to do ‘donuts’ on the grass, coating the front of the house in mud. Liam, who was angered by this and had identified one the youths as being a local man who lived 100 yards away, pursued him unarmed and argued with him about this vandalism, on the doorstep of the youth’s home. Following this, the youth’s brother came out of the house and stabbed Liam seven times, with blows to the head, neck and chest. Unfortunately Liam tragically died following heart failure in the local hospital. Mrs Estella ap Rhys Price Tom ap Rhys Price, a 31 yr old lawyer, was stabbed several times after being robbed of his mobile phone, bank and travel cards and £20 as he walked to his home in Kensal Green on January 12 2006. Tom had been on his way home from drinks with colleagues when he was attacked by two black youths less than 50 yards from his flat. He was rushed to Central Middlesex Hospital but declared dead early the following morning. Delano Brown, 18, and Donnel Carty, 19, were jailed for life at the Old Bailey in November 2006. Ms Lucy Davis & her father and friend: Lucy’s brother Scott was tragically murdered in Reading in July 2001 after a night out and suffered nine stab wounds, one of which was fatal. His murderer who was 18 at the time was given a life sentence, serving a minimum of 10 years before being considered for release. This would mean he could be back on the streets of Reading at just 28yrs old. Mr Kevin Everard, David Morris and Ann Oakes-Odger from the Be Safe Project' The ‘Be Safe’ project is funded by the Government and is a programme designed to educate and discuss issues with school children, provide advice and education to previous offenders etc. Mrs Jan Bayliss & Ms Sumintra Nadauld: Their sons Steven, 16yrs old and Twood, 14yrs old, were tragically stabbed to death in September 2005 and their bodies were found in a field in Wokingham. Steven died after having his throat cut while Twood Nadauld, whose full name is Nuttawut Nadauld, died from several knife wounds. An 18 yr old youth has been charged with their murders. Mr & Mrs Terry & Josie Pollen, Mrs Sandra Griffiths & her son Mr Andrew Griffiths: In July 2005, Mr & Mrs Pollen’s son Daniel, 20yrs old and a medical student at Southampton University, was sitting with his friend Andrew Griffiths, also 20yrs old and a medical student, on some bicycle railings waiting for a lift in a car park in Romford when three men violently attacked them. Daniel suffered a two-inch stab wound which pierced his heart. He also suffered a broken jaw and collapsed, never regaining consciousness. Andrew suffered a punch to his face, breaking his jaw, further blows to the head and several stab wounds. A 16yr old youth admitted to murder and was given life imprisonment with a recommendation he serve a minimum of 15 years for murder. The two others involved received 6 years for GBH with intent on Daniel and 10 years for wounding with intent on Andrew. Both sentences are to run concurrently with a recommendation they serve a minimum of 5 years. Mr Stuart Montgomery & his father Stephen Montgomery Stuart’s brother Ian, 30yrs old from Wokingham was brutally stabbed in Nottingham over the bank holiday weekend. He saw a young woman being beaten up in the street early on Sunday in Hockley outside a bar and went to help. He was brutally stabbed in the chest and back and has been in critical care since the incident, only now being released from hospital after more than six weeks. |
