Victim’s mum in knife plea at cathedral

- BY BEN GLAZE Deputy Political Editor

STABBED Teen Shaquan THE grieving mum of a murdered teen will tonight lead a candlelit ceremony to help rid the scourge of knives from the streets.

Jessica Plummer said: “I do not want another mum to go through the pain I have gone through, so doing this event is not just for myself, but for others.”

She will address a thousand community activists at the London Citizensor­ganised ceremony.

The names of the 120 people murdered in the capital this year will be read out at St George’s Cathedral in Southwark, South London.

Ms Plummer’s son, A-level student Shaquan Sammy-Plummer, 17, was killed in 2015 by Jemal Williams, 20. Williams, of Enfield, was jailed for life.
