Parents Against Knives walk rescheduled in Glasgow
The Parents Against Knives walk, which has been organised by the family of murdered teen Kory McCrimmon, will now take place on Sunday, June 22. The Glasgow Times previously reported it had been scheduled to take place on Sunday, June 8. The walk will begin at 1pm at Ibrox Stadium and will end at Celtic Park. READ NEXT: Family of Kory McCrimmon plan 'Parents Against Knives' walk in Glasgow It will commemorate the first anniversary of Kory's death while also highlighting the dangers of knife crime and remembering all those who have been lost to knife violence. Kory, 16, died after he was stabbed in the heart following a confrontation in Greenfield Park in the East End on May 31 last year. Kory's family said they "wish for his death to make a difference". READ NEXT: Scots warned to 'not carry weapons' amid concerns over youth violence They said: "Due to the overwhelming response to our peaceful Parents Against Knives walk we have had to reschedule the date from June 8 to June 22. "Now that we have a date finalised, with the support of Police Scotland and Glasgow City Council we warmly welcome and invite the participation of ALL to walk with us and raise awareness in the soaring climate of knife crime. "Kory McCrimmon's young life was a brushstroke stroke in time, but we his family wish for his death to make a difference: Kory's life will not be in vain. "Our aim here is to continue highlighting the increase in deaths and danger by knife and violent crime. "Our sons and daughters are more than statistics, they deserve better. "Kory's parents are very clear: if we can prevent at least one more family going through this life shattering agony, we have gone a long way in our mission, but let's go further. "We walk in Kory's name, but we stand for all those lives lost or maimed to knife violence: too much, too many. No more. "Come join our walk and lend your hearts and voices to making our streets, our young people and our lives safer. "Let's lose our fear and face our future: come together, the time is now. "Too much, too many: No more."

We previously reported a 14-year-old boy appeared in court after being charged in connection with his death. He allegedly struck Amen with a knife. Court papers further stated the boy and a 15-year-old boy face a separate assault charge while a 16-year-old boy was later also arrested and charged in connection with Amen's death. Kate Wallace, chief executive of Victim Support Scotland who are supporting the walk, said: "Too many lives are being devastated by knife crime in Scotland. "Behind every statistic, hundreds of lives are irreversibly impacted with tragic consequences for everyone involved; family, friends, siblings, school mates, and the wider communities in which we all live." She continued: "These are complex and sensitive situations which require a multi-agency response from the Scottish Government, victim support organisations, police, social work, youth work and others to work together to tackle knife crime and the devastation it causes. "People across Scotland deserve to feel safe in their own communities. "Recent legislative changes, recognising everyone under the age of 18 as a child, have had far-reaching consequences for victims of knife crime, and all crimes involving young people. "We will continue to work to ensure the rights of victims are upheld in this changing approach. "Our Support for Families Bereaved by Crime team witnesses the irreparable damage done by knife crime, both on victims and the families they leave behind." Anyone who has been affected by knife crime crime or any other type of crime can contact the Victim Support Scotland helpline on 0800 160 1985 or visit

Police find 'Harry Potter' tenant living under the stairs of East Lothian HMO
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Police found a resident of a house of multiple occupancy (HMO) in Haddington sleeping in the cupboard under the stairs, it has been revealed. The landlord of two neighbouring properties in the East Lothian town is applying to have his licence to operate it renewed. But a report due to go to next week's East Lothian Council licensing sub committee reveals the houses have not had a valid HMO licence for more than three years. And it was revealed that in a scene reminiscent of the Harry Potter books, someone had been sleeping in the under-stairs cupboard of one or the properties. The report said the landlord "admitted that a single person had been sleeping in the understair cupboard of one of the properties (reported by Police Scotland following their visit of 19 August 2022)". In the first of the Harry Potter books the wizarding schoolboy lives in the cupboard under the stairs of his aunt and uncle's house. The report on the HMO properties said that during a visit by licensing, police and fire officers, it was found 14 people were living in the two houses which had a limit of between six and ten tenants. Single beds were discovered in garden sheds at both properties and one tenant told officers they paid their rent in cash and received no receipts. Historic complaints about the HMO use of the houses, on Hope Park, saw neighbours accuse tenants of taking drugs in the garden, antisocial behaviour, and disturbances day and night. The report also said a meeting at council headquarters between the landlord, the licensing officer and homelessness team had been held in December 2023 where concerns were raised that tenant/lodger agreements were not in place for those living in the houses. It added there was "frequent presentations to the homelessness team from former tenants of (the properties) and potential presentations from current lodgers due to both properties being in breach of HMO legislation". The report outlined a timeline of events over the last two years including enforcement action over unauthorised use of the homes as HMOs, application forms which were incomplete and breaches of a rent suspension order. The sub committee will consider new applications which have now been lodged for the properties to operate as HMOs however its own planning department has lodged an objection saying both houses are the subject of an 'ongoing enforcement investigation' relating to planning permission for the use. The committee will meet to decide the licences next Thursday, June 12.
