Father of Damilola whose mission was to fight knife crime and provide support for disadvantaged young people
Richard Taylor, who has died aged 75 after suffering from prostate cancer, spent more than two decades ensuring that something positive could emerge from the fatal stabbing of his 10-year-old son Damilola.
When visiting the stairwell on an estate in Peckham, south London, where Damilola was stabbed in the leg with a broken bottle and left to bleed to death in November 2000, Taylor visibly shook with grief.
