The Southport Survivor Campaigning for Safer Kitchen Knives | This Morning

It’s been two years since the horrific day in Southport when a knife attack took place at a Taylor Swift themed dance class, killing three young children and injuring many others. Teacher Leanne Lucas - who organised the holiday workshop - was critically injured as she shielded some of the children. Now, Leanne has dedicated herself to a knife crime campaign ‘Let’s Be Blunt’, calling for people up and down the country to replace their traditional, pointed kitchen knives (the type of knife that was used in the Southport killings) with safer, rounded-tip alternatives. Leanne joins us alongside Associate Professor and forensic scientist Leisa Nichols-Drew, who has conducted extensive research on the use of knives in violent crimes.
