Gogglebox star Sandi Bogle whose nephew was stabbed to death blames knife crime epidemic on bad mums
GOGGLEBOX star Sandi Bogle stroked her nephew’s hand, tears silently rolling down her cheeks as the machines were switched off and she watched him take his final breath., but not a day goes by when Sandi doesn’t think of that moment, or the horrendous circumstances that led to his death.Bjorn - a close friend of rapper Stomzy - was found stabbed and lying in a pool of blood by a passing taxi driver on Bensham Lane, Broad Green in the London borough of Croydon on 29th March 2017.
Prompted to speak out following a new spate of killings this week, Sandi talks to Sun Online about Bjorn's tragic death, admitting she thinks bad parenting is to blame. “He’d been stabbed three times, in his leg, his side and underneath his arm which had caught an artery and done the most damage,” she recalls.
"Hopefully the person does come forward and give himself up. You can’t take someone’s life and expect to get away with it like that.”
