Jay Whiston death: Anti-knife walk for murdered teen

The family of a teenager stabbed to death outside a house party have been joined by supporters at an anti-knife walk in Colchester.

Caroline Shearer's 17-year-old son Jay Whiston was stabbed in the heart last September.

She and daughter Holly Fairburn have campaigned to raise awareness of the the culture of knives on the streets.

Those taking part included Carl Craig, who survived a stabbing in Colchester, and Colchester United footballer Karl Duguid.
