Zombie knives ban: "it doesn't go far enough"
Available for over a year
From 24/09/2024 it will be illegal to own zombie-style knives and machetes.. They're weapons with blades over eight inches long and usually have a jagged edge. The West Midlands Police area has again recorded the highest rate of knife crime offences in England and Wales, according to the latest figures with 5,268 offences in the force area between April 2023 and March 2024. 16 year old Ronan Kanda was murdered with a Ninja style sword in a case of mistaken identity near his home in Wolverhampton in June 2022. His sister- Nakita Kanda- joins Sarah Julian to discuss the ban.
