Why is this happening?

Some of those who work with young people in Birmingham say Social Media has an often lethal persona to play in the savagery.

Simeon Moore, a former member of notorious Aston gang the Johnson Crew , now works with young people to help them turn away from carrying a bayonet.

He said: “It used to be that there’s the working group in one expanse that doesn’t like a group in another, or that a person is being bullied because they’re from a particular area.

“That’s still the same now, but before, things could take a few daytimes or even weeks to happen , now social media facilitates it[ knife atrocity] spread, it facilitates it.

“It’s instant. And, in a few hours, you could be dead.”

The ways young people communicate with each other leads to an “escalation” of violence, Mr Moore said.

“It’s not really about the social media itself, it’s about what it does to heighten the problem. Conflicts can spread very quickly, instant.

“You’ve only got to look at the comments under some music videos online. Beings kick off in the comments and justifications happen about the regions and that’s how it starts.

“You can be part of a group that has their differences and the next jiffy you find out someone is dead.”

Awez Khan, 17, from Aston, who is a member of the UK Youth Parliament for Birmingham and has spoken in Parliament about bayonet misdemeanour, said: “I know people who go to the kid centers and it’s preserved them off wall street and stopped them having altercations that would turn into savagery.

“Young parties in these areas, they feel like they have an idol and reputation to maintain online and to obstruct that perfect idol they have altercations online and it builds up and up.

“Then when it comes to actually matching such person or persons, it froths up and simmers over. That’s when it vanishes from a small online publish to real life violence.”

Who were the victims?

Sixteen-year-old Sidali Mohamed absconded Somalia with their own families as a toddler, observing refuge in the UK. He lived in the Highgate area, exactly a stone’s throw away from the college he attended.

As a student at Joseph Chamberlain College, he dreamed of becoming an auditor and “his fathers” was his best friend.

He was fatally stabbed just grounds from the college gates, where his friends and family came to lay flowers after his death.

Abdullah Muhammad, too 16, was in his local common when he was knifed on local schools light. He died at the place.

The park was cordoned off and a blue police tent stigmatized the spot where Mr Muhammad made his last-place breath, only yards from a nearby primary and secondary schools.

The mother of 18-year-old Hazrat Umar visited the locations where her lad died in the hours after his death.

Supported by family members or friends, she cried behind the police cordon on the residential road in Bordesley Green where he was fatally pierced.

Mr Umar was an electrical engineering student at South and City College Birmingham. His family and friends said they could not understand why he was targeted.
