Plea for tougher sentancing on knife crime

The family of murdered teenager Ben Kinsella have called for tougher sentancing on knife crime.

The 3 men found guilty of killing Ben were each sentanced to 19 years in prison, however had they used a gun their sentances would have started at 30 years. The intense press coverage of the case has served to further highlight the much harsher terms for those found guilty of gun crime.
