Rod Liddle: UK Correspondent on the murder of Harry Pitman and the increase in knife crime in London

A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder in the UK.  Harry Pitman was attacked in North London on New Years Eve as he and a group of friends watched the fireworks display.  The 16-year-old was stabbed in the neck, dying shortly before midnight.  UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Tim Dower that while it is a horrible story, it is not alone.  He said that knife crime in London increased by 50% over the last year, with a total of 21 young people killed by knives in 2023, 14 more than the previous year.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
