Ryan Passey (1993 - 2017)
Ryan Passey - of Stourbridge, West Midlands - was callously murdered whilst enjoying a night out with friends in August 2017.
A few months later, in February 2018, his killer - who had admitted not only to stabbing Ryan but also fleeing the scene and attempting to dispose of the weapon - walked free from court without sentence or punishment.
Ryan, a popular, self-employed 24-year-old tradesman and footballer, received no justice that day, and his family, friends and the entire community around them have had to face the reality of life not only without their beloved Ryan, but without justice in his name, either.
As the UK faces an escalating National crisis of knife crime, with harrowing new stories and cases on an almost daily basis, we ask what message does Ryan's story send out to those who would seek to commit the same heartless, devastating crimes? What deterrent is there when a confessed killer can walk free?
So please, join us today as we campaign for justice in Ryan's name, and help us spread the word to #PutTheKnifeDown.
