"The loss of Messiah has left a hole in our hearts which will never be filled. Messiah was a son, a brother, a grandson, a nephew, a cousin and a friend. His family and friends have been left devastated. He was a bubbly young man with a contagious smile that would light up the room."
"Yesterday, a senseless attack took a much-loved man away from his family, friends and community. Our thoughts are with them at this unimaginably difficult time. There is no place for knife crime on our streets. I'd again like to reassure local residents that myself and my team are working meticulously to find those responsible. This attack took place in broad daylight. There were witnesses."
