Rob Wilson to lead “Knives Cost Lives” petition
|
||||
Reading East MP, Rob Wilson, will tomorrow lead a delegation to Number 10 Downing Street of victims of knife crime to present a petition calling for tougher sentences for those carrying and using knives illegally.
The presentation 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 grown and now represents families from across the UK , including the families from Wokingham Mrs Jan Bayliss and 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. These families have already taken the campaign to the heart of Government, holding meetings with the Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer, in July 2006, the Solicitor-General, Mike O’Brien, and Home Office Ministers. 21/07/03
