Families’ disgust as killer knife sellers given £350k from taxpayer in amnesty

GRIEVING parents of stabbing victims have told of their fury over knife sellers raking in cash from an amnesty on blades.

Firms run by brothers Adam and Eddy Eliaz are said to have made at least £350,000 in compensation from taxpayers by handing in thousands of zombie knives at £10 time that will be banned this month anyway.

At least seven fatal attacks have been linked to weapons sold by the companies, which have found their way into the hands of thugs under 18.

While bereaved families welcome the knife-surrender scheme, they are outraged that wealthy firms are making any money from it.

A sword used to kill Ronan Kanda, 16, was among 26 weapons bought from them by Prabjeet Veadhesa, 16, using his mother's name.

The victim's sister Nikita, 24, said: "The surrender scheme can encourage people who carry knives to turn in their weapons.

"However, it's unfair and perverse for sellers to receive money after already profiting significantly from selling these harmful weapons.

"Especially if that seller is responsible for supplying over 25 weapons to my brother's 16-year-old murderer, including the ninja sword that pierced his heart." Ronan's death in Wolverhampton was a case of mistaken identity.
