Richard Norman Everitt was a white 15-year-old boy who was stabbed to death in 1994 by a gang of British Bangladeshi's who were seeking revenge against another white boy. Everitt did not provoke the attack and had no history of anti-social behaviour. He went to the shops to buy a pot noodle. The Bengali's had already injured one white boy that night when they spotted Richard and his 2 mates who tried to run away but Richard was caught and stabbed in the back. He died on the spot. One of the Bengali's was later seen eating Richard's pot noodle. Eleven men were arrested and bailed shortly after Richard was stabbed. Most of them escaped justice by leaving the UK. Only 3 Stood trial, one got 12 years, (he was released in 2008) one got 3 years youth detention, one had his case dismissed and was later elected as a Councillor. A campaign for the release of two convicts began, which asserted that the jury and prosecution had acted out of racism. Advocacy groups including Liberty, Camden Legal Centre, Camden Racial Equality Council, and the Society of Black Lawyers supported the campaign. Street protesters held a banner saying "FREE THE KINGS X TWO". After the convictions, Richard's family were abused by Bengali neighbours and had to move to Essex before settling in northern England. His mother successfully campaigned for stronger sentences for knife crime. In correspondence with the author Michael Collins, she said that "I know it's a terrible thing to say, but I sometimes wish that Richard had been murdered by a white boy. Then we'd have had to deal with the murder but not the nightmare of everything else that followed". Frank Dobson, the local Labour MP, denied a racial motive and said that suggestions of such would inflame the situation. So even then Labour were anti-white. Before they were forced to leave the area Richard's family put a bench paying tribute to Richard near the location of his murder. The inscription on the bench included the text "Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room." The council put them into storage without prior notification of the family, where they were "neglected and later damaged", according to an article in Camden New Journal. In August 2024, a replacement memorial to him was unveiled nearby in Purchase Street Open Space. 30 years to wait for an official memorial. But the Council was not biased at all. RIP Lad, you are in a better place. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder…
