Action on knife crime needed more than ever, says Damilola Taylor's brother
Damilola Taylor was 10 years old when he was fatally stabbed in Peckham in November 2000
The brother of schoolboy Damilola Taylor, killed in an attack in Peckham 26 years ago, has said work to tackle knife crime is "needed now more than ever".
The 10-year-old was fatally stabbed while on his way home from Peckham Library in south London on 27 November 2000.
Babatunde (Tunde) Taylor now chairs the Damilola Taylor Trust, set up by their parents in his brother's memory. It works to provide support for disadvantaged children vulnerable to falling into crime.
He said issues they were currently facing were "more diverse" than they were when his brother died.
Damilola's killing is now the subject of a BBC documentary called Damilola: The Untold Story.
Tunde said the problems faced today by young people were different to his experience growing up.
"We've got the emergence of social media... we have to find a way to keep evolving and adapting," he said.
Tunde says knife crime prevention services are still much needed, 26 years after his brother's death
Tunde said the charity trust was facing an uncertain future, despite its many successful programmes.
