The family of an 18-year-old stabbed to death in an apparently unprovoked attack in north-west London have said knife crime is “out of control” in the capital. The group fled but the teenager became separated from them and was then stabbed multiple times with a large knife. In a statement issued with the police appeal, the teenager’s family called for more to be done to stop knife crime. “We feel that knife crime in this area, and in London, is out of control and it must be stopped before another young life is taken, and another family has to suffer what we are suffering now,” they said. Isaacs’ family said he was “kind and loving”, was “working hard” as an apprentice carpenter and was passionate about music, fashion and Queens Park Rangers football club.
