Murder of Ben Kinsella

Uncommon card · No. 84016

Ben Michael Kinsella (27 October 1991 – 29 June 2008) was a 16-year-old student at Holloway School who was stabbed to death in an attack by three men in June 2008 in Islington. The significant media attention around his murder (the 17th stabbing death of a teenager in London during 2008, and his relationship to a prominent soap star) led to a series of demonstrations against knife crime, a raised profile for the government's anti-knife crime maxim "Operation Blunt 2" and a review of UK knife crime sentencing laws.
