It has been revealed that murdered 16-year old schoolboy, Ben Kinsella, who was stabbed to death after post-GCSE celebrations with friends had been awarded TEN passes including Grade A* in his favourite subject, Graphics, in which he had been interested in pursuing a career. His now famous"K" graphic representing the Kinsella family adorns Chapel Street, Islington as graffiti and was used on a badge to represent anti-teenage knife crime by a national newspaper, of which Ben had been the 17th victim.
Ben attended Holloway School and lived in Barnsbury. His tragic death caused an otucry against rising teenage knife crime.
The families of murdered 16-year-olds Ben Kinsella and Jimmy Mizen were yesterday filled with bittersweet pride at their GCSE results.
Ben, knifed as he celebrated the end of exams, passed 10 subjects and would have been set for his dream design job with an A* in graphics. Jimmy, fatally cut by a glass plate, died pre-tests but got eight grades for his coursework.
Three youths are charged with murdering Ben, the face of the Mirror Stop Knives Save Lives campaign, whose teachers at Holloway School, Islington, London, took his results to his nearby home.
