It's been 15 years since Ben Kinsella was murdered.
It's been 15 years of pain.
It's been 15 years of no change.

George Kinsella's son Ben was murdered on 29th June 2008. He was just 16 when he died.
Ben had been out at a local pub to celebrate the end of his GCSEs with his friends. On their way home, he and his friends realised they were being followed by three older teenagers. Scared and worried, they decided to run home.
But the older teenagers chased after them. They were seeking revenge for an altercation in the club that had taken place earlier that evening. Ben and his friends had absolutely nothing to do with the altercations, but when the older boys caught up with Ben, in an entirely unprovoked attack, they stabbed him to death.
Ben was the 17th teenager to be killed in London that year.
