Watch as family of man murdered in a Bedford park talk about the devastating impact of knife crime

Ashish Nahar died of a single stab wound to the heart after he was attacked while sitting on a bench in Jubilee Park, Bedford in June last year. He was 25.

A 16-year-old boy was convicted of his murder and sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 14-and-a-half years.

Now his family has spoken out about the devastating impact of knife crime in a short film as part of the county’s Just Drop It campaign.
