Mothers urge Londoners to speak up on knife crime after sons' deaths
Mothers urge Londoners to speak up on knife crime after sons' deaths

Five mothers whose sons were fatally stabbed have relived the "hardest" phone calls they each had to make, as part of a new campaign urging Londoners to report knife crime.

The "Hard Calls Save Lives" initiative, launched by the Metropolitan Police, features the women recounting the moments they learned their children had been killed.

Met Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick said she hoped the "tragic accounts" would encourage people to call the Crimestoppers charity anonymously with information.
