Yemi Hughes, whose 19-year-old son Andre Aderemi was murdered in 2016, has given her support to actor Iris Elba’s anti-knife campaign and has donated the outfit her son was wearing when he was killed.
Clothes to represent the victims of knife crime will be displayed in London’s Parliament Square on Monday, as part of Elba’s Don’t Stop Your Future campaign, which works with local communities and well-known brands to try to tackle serious violence.
Speaking to the ‘s Radio 4 Today programme, Ms Hughes said she received a phone call from a friend’s mother who said someone had been stabbed.
“I knew she was talking about Andre even though she hadn’t said his name, and then she let out this almighty scream that I’d never forget, she’d obviously seen it was him.”Read more about the story here.
