THE anguished family of a 14-year-old air cadet stabbed to death by another child have joined calls for action on knives.
Jordan Shani's brother Nathaniel was one victim in a string of teen-on-teen knife horrors.
And heartbroken Jordan, 20, believes cuts to services for youngsters are part of the issue.
He said: "We need to bring back community and youth centres. A lot have gone. We have a problem with violence in this country." Unarmed Nathaniel was stabbed in the neck during a fight in Harpurhey, Manchester, last September.
Two boys, who were 14 and 13 at the time and cannot be named for legal reasons, were this month jailed for life for a minimum of 13 and 10 years respectively for his murder.
Nathaniel's death was one of a clutch of killings amid a spiralling youth knife crime epidemic.
