Ben Michael Kinsella (27 October 1991 – 29 June 2008) was a 16-year-old student at Holloway School[1] who was stabbed to death in an attack by three men in June 2008 in Islington.[2][3] The significant media attention around his murder (the 17th stabbing death of a teenager in London during 2008)[4] led to a series of anti-knife crime demonstrations, a raised profile for the government's anti-knife crime maxim "Operation Blunt 2"[1] and a review of UK knife crime sentencing laws.[5]
