Elianne's aunt, Ruby Paintsi, said she fainted when she got to the hospital to support her sister, saying she has not left the house since the attack happened.
The family of murdered Croydon schoolgirl Elianne Andam have accused the government of not doing enough to tackle knife crime . Speaking for the first time since the 15-year-old was stabbed to death six weeks ago, Elianne's two aunties broke down in tears as they told Sky News how their family are 'broken' and feel like they are 'living in a nightmare'. Elianne was stabbed to death at a bus stop in Croydon , south London, while she was on her way to school on 27 September.
When I see my sister - her mum - all I see is her tears.' The large family have lived for decades in Croydon, which has the unenviable nickname of 'knife crime capital of London'. Another of Elianne's aunts, Regina Boafa, said the authorities need to do more to tackle knife crime.
