Yousef Makki's family call for action after 16 serious stabbings rock Greater Manchester in 2023
The sister of Yousef Makki has called on the authorities to act after a disturbing spike in serious stabbing incidents in Greater Manchester.
The M.E.N. has reported on 16 serious stabbing incidents since the turn of the year, the latest a 34-year-old man who was knifed inside a property in Ordsall, Salford, yesterday . Others include a 14-year-old girl stabbed with a broken bottle in a school, a 62-year knifed in a supermarket car park and a 19-year-old who died after being stabbed outside a convenience store. In most of the 16 serious stabbing incidents the M.E.N. has reported this year, detectives have stressed they were targeted attacks and that there was no wider threat to the public.
Yousef's Jade Akoum, a strong campaigning voice on knife crime, told the M.E.N: "It's happening all the time and until we see tougher punishments for it, it's not going to get any better. It's mainly young kids using knives and violence."I feel like it was a real problem when investment in youth and community centres stopped. I want to know what Andy Burnham says about all this.
"I'm not saying I know the solution. I just wish people could see the devastation that is left behind."
