"THE BROTHER OF EX-EASTENDERS ACTRESS BROOKE KINSELLA DIED AFTER BEING STABBED 11 TIMES IN A FRENZIED FIVE SECOND ATTACK".
"CAUGHT on CCTV - these are tragic
teen Ben Kinsella's last moments".
"14.06.2009."The 16-year-old knife victim staggers down a street with his white shirt soaked in blood moments after three savage thugs knifed him".
"With his life ebbing away, schoolboy Ben makes it round a corner and collapses in a pool of blood off camera. It is shocking footage which exposes the harsh, heart-breaking reality of Broken Britain".
Today, the three thugs who killed him in Islington, North London, last year were convicted of murder".
"Grieving, sister Brooke".
Innocent Ben was targeted in June after a row he had nothing to do with broke out when he left a bar with pals".
"Ben was chased along the street with other youngsters - and stabbed to death when he stopped running. Juress Kika, 19, Michael Alleyne, 18, and Jade Braithwaite, 20, all from London, denied murder".
"After the verdicts, it emerged Kika had been on the run from police for ten days following a robbery in which a man was knifed on June 19. Three other youths were arrested but despite extensive searches and inquiries, Kika was not found until he was arrested at a flat in East London, on June 30".
"Justice. Ben's family outside court".
"The 21-year-old victim of Kika's other attack, who appeared to have been involved in a row about drugs, refused to press charges. Alleyne was being supervised by a local youth offending team as part of an 18-month detention and training order for drug dealing".
"He had been released three months earlier after serving half the sentence in a detention centre. In a victim impact statement, Ben's mum Deborah told the Old Bailey judge of the pain that the loss of her son had caused her family".
"She was in tears as she read out: "I make this statement and the feelings and emotions are felt by all my family but no amount of words could ever express the daily pain we feel for the loss of Ben".
"14.June.06.2009, our beautiful son Ben was brutally and savagely stabbed to death.We, as his family, have been left devastated and in total despair. Our whole world has been totally turned upside down".
"We can now only visit Ben at a cemetery, our beautiful son who so loved life. We cry every day for the loss of Ben, we do not sleep like we did before".
"Ben went for a good night out and never came home again. Ben had only just finished school - a straight A student, he had a job and had got his place in college. He never learnt of the wonderful exam results he had achieved and worked so very hard for".
"Ben loved life, he loved living, and he had so much to live for. He knew where he was going and where he wanted to be. Ben loved nothing more than to make people laugh, he was a fun-loving, happy-go-lucky boy with a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone".
"A testimony of this was his funeral that was attended by so many friends who filled the church and pavements outside. Ben loved art and wanted to be a graphic designer, he loved his family, cooking, football, music and girls".
"The people who murdered him knew nothing about our Ben, not a hair on his head, a bone in his body, not anything about our wonderful son".
"Killers ."Jade Braithwaite, Juress Kika and Michael Alleyne".
"They had never met him before or spoken to him, they just cruelly took his life away with knives for no apparent reason. We had brought Ben up to always walk away from trouble. This sadly cost him his life".
"He walked away to get safely home and they took advantage of that - he was one boy on his own. It seems unfair their intent was to stab someone that night. We were a big, happy, loving family. We are one down, one missing. We are hard-working and just wanted the best for all our children in life. There are now just three of us at home".
"We have had to move house because it broke our hearts to not see Ben in his bedroom curled up sleeping and safe in his bed. We so miss Ben's love and laughter and most of all the boy thing in our family".
"Ben was our precious son that we cherished and were so immensely proud of, and by the way we had brought him up".
"He had values and respected everyone he met. We, as a family, will never know the man he would have become, the wife he would have met and the children he would have had. This has all now been taken away from siblings, his grandmothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends".
"No parent or sibling should ever have to go through or see what we have seen with our son. He died in front of us, we then had to visit him in a morgue, the undertakers and finally to bury him.We can now only visit Ben at a cemetery, our beautiful son who so loved life. We cry every day for the loss of Ben, we do not sleep like we did before".
"Nearly a year on, our nights are still filled with nightmares, of our son's last moments and what he went through that fatal night. Our lives will never be the same; we have all been so deeply affected. We, as a family, will never get over the loss of our Ben; we are just trying to get through it".
"Our family now face a lifetime of feeling this way. Nothing we can say or do will ever bring Ben back. All we can hope and pray for is that justice will prevail. Maybe then we can find some form of closure to this awful event that has devastated our family's lives."
"Some 400 people joined the family to march against knife crime following his death. The defendants had admitted punching Ben but each denied he was the knifeman. Detective Chief Inspector John Macdonald said the first row in the pub had "materialised out of nothing".
"But it had led to Braithwaite seeking out Alleyne and Kika - resulting in them stabbing someone who had nothing to do with it to save face. He said: "I think it is done out of pure ignorance. People seem to resort to the most serious violence, particularly young people".
"They are people who are ignorant and socially inept. Young people become desperate about being disrespected. Braithwaite probably thought he had been disrespected by one of the younger kids and wanted to take retribution, to take revenge."
"The killers were remanded in custody for sentencing tomorrow. Outside court George Kinsella said the family hoped the jail terms given to his son's killers would reflect the brutality of their crime".
