Calls for children and young people to learn how to use 'KnifeSaver' kits across Lancashire
It's after Colin McGinty when was stabbed to death on his way home from a night out with friends.
A woman whose brother was murdered is raising money for life saving kits to be installed in public spaces across Lancashire.
Colin McGinty was on his way home from a night out with friends when he was stabbed to death by two men who thought he was someone else in 2001 in Merseyside.
Colin was 21-years-old when he died.
Police concluded the killers had thought he was someone else.
His sister Laura Hughes now wants 'KnifeSaver' kits - which can help to stop people from bleeding to death - and training on how to use them to be rolled out across the county, she said: "If used correctly, they can prevent a person from bleeding out, because what is typically happening is an injury will occur, the person won't know what to do and they will bleed out quicker than ambulance can get to them.
"There's stuff within the kits and the training that goes with it will save a person's life.
With lockdown restrictions easing, Laura says it's vital we get the kits out as soon as possible: "They're (young people) are going to start going out into the world again which is already happening and violent situations are occurring.
"We've seen in the news recently across the the North West, some absolutely shocking, gutting stories and that's now. So as we get into the summer months where there's no school etc it is only going to get worse in my opinion.
"Although I can't save every child if you like, what we can do is if we can donate a kit into an area where there's a high rate of youth related crime then for me that's creating a positive legacy for my brother and also leaving a lasting legacy that may save someone else's life."
