The murder of 15-year-old Elianne Andam on her way to school has prompted a call for action on knife crime that one activist says will not be enough. The News Movement met Faron Alex Paul - known as a knife crime “vigilante” who works in the spaces police can’t access to get weapons off the streets. Faron, 37, said he was tired of the familiar cycle of outrage that follows a knife murder and called for a joined-up approach to ending the violence and limiting access to knives.
