Dionne Barrett (pictured), from Newcastle, said she was 'so shocked' to hear that the people who sold the weapons which were used to kill her 14-year-old son would be getting a payout.
The mourning families of murder victims have spoken of their disgust after a company selling knives was granted £350,000 in taxpayer-funded compensation.
His mother, Dionne Barrett, told The Mirror that she was 'so shocked' to hear that the people who sold the weapons which were used to kill her son would be getting a payout. Ronan Kanda, a 16-year-old from Wolverhampton, was murdered with a blade bought by DNA Leisure in June 2022 Ronan's sister Nikita, 24, said it was 'perverse' that the sword sellers will receive money from the Government, having already profited off selling the harmful weapons in the first place.
Superintendent Alex House, who leads on knife crime for Bedfordshire Police, described the size of the haul from the Eliaz brother's company as 'horrific'. Earlier this year, the mother of Ronan Kanda spoke out against the business after it told shoppers to buy brightly coloured ninja swords, double-headed axes and machetes 'while you can!' on a 'last chance' section of its website.
