- The families of the two students killed in Nottingham attended a vigil held outside the Nottingham University Student’s Union where medical student, Grace O’Malley-Kumar, and history student Barnaby Webber, had spent so much of their time.
The fathers of both the students took to the stand to address the roughly 2,000 students who had gathered at the top of Djanogly Terrace.
Sanjoy Kumar told the crowd to “look after each other” after “Grace and her friend fell together”.

The UK is not a safe place right now. This man’s advice is spot on. Look after each other.
Look after your country, especially the bprders
Fortunately the uk is one of the safest nations in the world
@@uksilverstacker413 Agreed, but it definitely felt safer 20 years ago.
@@APMerry less knife crime. Back in the 80s and 90s it was mainly Stanley blade slashing not proper stabbings like now
The government has a whole lot of blood on their hands 😢😢😢😢
And they’re still allowing them to flood in 😢
The way people talk it's like they don't even realise the Government represents them, and is even voted in, BY THEM.
For what????
we just need tougher punishments for these kinds of people, save the taxpayer from housing them in prison, quick fire trials and quick fire justice.
@@transes81 Allowing a convicted terrorist into our country.
Total respect for those fathers, I can’t imagine what they’re going through.
I lived and worked all over that city. I was lucky enough to come away with ptsd from experiencing years of horrible incidents most of which never made the local news.
The police and politicians have helped those cities decay for decades.
Who are mainly the perpetrators ?
@@ScottyDog345 It was a homeless man
@@ScottyDog345 a failed asylum seeker who hates everything about this country.
I feel for the family’s but can’t help feeling hatred for our government..
Media desperately trying to cover for the Tory home office allowing this migrant with a history of violence to remain in the country. Another 1200 crossed the channel in the last 2 days, it will never end. Tories probably want us to focus on the boats while they hand out a million++ visas to Nigerians every year. Tories are the party of MASS MIGRATION
Bang on
I feel like I'm insanely out of the loop for this, why are people blaming this on the government?
@@conorrobinson4939 same, literally don't get it.
@@jesusisking3820 pull your head out your arse and it will become apparent .
This is getting absurd, how many more innocent people have to die before anything is done! This man is right we need to look after each other. RIP and I hope their families can grieve in peace :(
Done about what? The treatment for mental ill health?
@@meesamagill1193no. If an immigrant has history of violence we deport them. It’s as simple as that
@@meesamagill1193 Mental Health services are very strained, our NHS is almost gone and the law really isn't scary enough.
@@meesamagill1193 done about securing the borders in order not to expose citizens to the threats from the outside. And about proper identifying and neutralizing real threats from within.
@@meesamagill1193 I am from an Eastern European country, I am young, in good health, have not been convicted of any crime or violation ever, have no addiction problems, etc. I have Masters degree. I stand no chance to immigrate to the UK. Zero. And I don't want to fake an asylum case. So no UK for people like myself, but the borders are readily open for people like that guy. So that's maybe something than needs to be addressed by the politicians. And I'm not saying they need to cut me a slack in order to make it easier for me to immigrate, if they decide they don't want me in the country then so be it. But the people must make a decision who they want in the country in their best interest, not the politicians following some obscure logic of political viability.
My deepest condolences to all affected by this horrible crime
Crime or jihad

Look after each other because the government won’t. Even though our safety should be their first priority.
Media are just as bad, hiding the identity of the attacker. Obviously a terrorist.
When people don't hold their government to account, its always the same people who suffer.
Shocking how many people in these comments are absolving themselves of any responsibility. Thinking it's acceptable to sit at home doing nothing
Well the same people dont suffer, cos theyre dead
Which people?
@@disobeytoday4685what exactly should be done?
@@ster2600proper care for the mentally ill, the government don’t care or act positively until someone snaps
These poor poor people. They will never recover from this. We can only hope they somehow gain the strength to support and comfort each other while somehow moving forward.
God love them. The youngsters murdered were obviously from lovely families. This one hit hard. Their whole lives ahead of them. Positive, confident, young people. Such a loss 😭🙏
and also the caretaker who was not young but who also had his life
does not matter whether people come from lovely families or not.
@@cattyelse2372I thought that. I dont like it when they think middle class are somehow better and more deserving
@cattyelse people from broken neglected homes tend to be hate- and resentful against society and to enjoy destroying things more than building things. Not a law but a tendency.
@@cattyelse2372 Yes, RIP Ian Coates. Have seen some lovely tributes made by those who knew him. - colleagues, former students, fishing friends, friends of the family. Very sad end for him. Incredible wickedness. It’s all very shocking. Prayers to all the families 🙏
Perhaps Lineker, Welby, Sunak, Starmer, Major etc would like to remind us again how wonderful the ECHR, UN Treaties and related domestic law is and why they blocked change.
Don't forget Blair he opened the gates
@@martinbrown7587 Yes this guy had apparently been in the country for over ten years so may well have been one of "Blair's Boys".
Cannot put into words how much this breaks my heart to see these poor guys clearly devastated by their loss .Just cannot imagine the pain, it makes me very sad and extremely angry that this is allowed to happen by gutless governments and there will be more. How these good people carry on from this god only knows, for when the story fades from the media these poor families will spend the rest of their lives totally in ruins. The pictures of those beautiful young people will stick in my mind fot a very long time
Are the spineless government watching this do something about it or we will
No we won’t , it will forgotten in 3 days .
It’s life unfortunately there is only so much the gov can do. Even if they tighten borders etc sick individuals will still pop up..
@@allseeingotto2912 It won't be forgotten - millions of people are sick of this situation.
My heart breaks! I am so angry! What have we become!
Who's we?
Use it
Stop with the WEF now.
The man had mental health problems
We have become targets for any third word immigrants with problems
Such bravery
Those poor, poor families
Thoughts and prayers to them all
Just terrible..
We are all in pain in one way or another..Be kind to each other .. May they all find comfort and peace.
Be kind to one another? Pretty naive outlook considering what is going on. I am kind only to those deserving
Be kind to all mus lim immigrants that come to ra pe and slau ghter your daughters
Yeah let's all sing kum-by-yah and expect the problems to go away.
Politicians in this country should be ashamed of themselves after incidents like this. What is a guy from West Africa with mental health issues doing wondering around Nottingham ?? Is he illegal? If he is known to have mental health issues why is he wondering around Nottingham and allowed to carry out these crimes, resulting in young lives being lost and families lives being devastated. Lets all vote Farage at the next election and vote this clueless Conservative shower out of government.
Yes he is legal with no police records
Bless everyone involved in this terrible tragedy. Unimaginable.

"The love that we have out here, I just wish that we had it everywhere" - Such beautiful words at a time that must be absolutely devastating. It seems everyone has become so obsessed with hating each other that we have forgotten just what love can do.
My heart is with all of those that knew the victims, and the victims themselves.
So heart breaking for the familys all the three victims and the people that were hurt
There are no words, only empathy. 😢

He tried to get into a residential home for the vulnerable too the man is a pure psychopath. Our country is ‘tolerant’ to the point of insanity.
Omg the sadness on that one young guy I'm assuming his brother is heartbreaking. How long will the British people stay silent over all these stabbings. The revolution is coming
Dreadfully sad. Two beautiful young lives taken for nothing.
Sacrificed on the alter of diversity.
but please remember the not so attractive caretaker..i fear he is being neglected in the grief here

What has the government done to cause this?

Rishi too busy hanging out with zelensky
Dr Sanjoy Kumar's daughter, Grace, was hoping to become a doctor like her father. Her and Barnaby's life were taken because they happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I would like to know whether the worthless government carried out a criminal background check on their murderer before granting him asylum?
Coming from Nottingham, my son goes to university of Nottingham. I have walked those streets many times. This is awful to watch no parent should ever have to do this, especially under these circumstances. RIP
Nottingham is a ruff dangerous place.
Always was a bit dodgy fifty years ago
Can't imagine their grief right now. My heart hurts for them. It's so sad they were just 19, it's no age to die. I hope somehow they can find the strength to get through this incredibly difficult time. 😢❤
Time for mass protests outside downing Street and the port of Dover every Saturday until this ridiculous soft government does something instead of lying to us pretending they are, listening to the parents absolute devastation is hard to watch.
How many more? There will be more as long as people are allowed to enter UK with out papers.This is the result of utter greed on the part of rich people making money of this madness. It makes my blood boil.
He came in with papers he should not have had .What difference does it make if we become a minority to legal migrants or illegal ..we will face the same fkn fate .
So sad to watch this heartfelt gathering of the victims families and friends of the murdered individuals.. 😢😢
This story deserves a headline that’s been proof read. Atrocious lack of attention to detail, a simple grammar check wouldn’t go amiss.
if I hear an MP say we need an enquiry or we will learn from this then I will ... 😠
Why is this one girl in second row constantly flashing huge holywood smile. Later the same she turns and smiles to camera wtf. Like it doest seem good moment to promote yourself.
We shouldn't be pretending that all cultures out there hold the same value. We should call out the barbarianism and inhumane practices, which of course are not the cultural thing entirely, but may be induced, ingrained and encouraged in the population by certain cultural aspects. By pretending that all cultures are equal we are not doing anyone any good, but create prerequisites for future gruesome events. No one is better off from hypocritical flattery.
Nottingham has a mixed heritage since the fifties and is a vibrant and peaceful city. We will not let the evil actions of one killer, devide our beautiful city. We will stand united against all forms of hate.
Heart wrenching .😪
Something is not ringing true….
What tests or checks do these people have to pass to be allowed in. Time and time again this sort of thing keeps happening
There are no words. None.
We're sadly all waiting who's going to be next...that's just sad.
Had he done this in his home country, it wouldn't have even been covered by the news.
Sue the government
The left have allowed this
We have a Tory government???
Sad but angry nothing will be done, thoughts go to the victims family's and there friends.
Heartbreaking to watch. Impossible to not feel choked and upset about what the families, friends and colleagues of these two students and the caretaker must be going through. I feel more anger, disdain and disgust than ever towards the politicians who have blood on their hands for allowing and encouraging these kind of murderers to come to the UK, and that they will continue to do so despite such atrocities occurring all too often.
Thoughts and prayers with the families.
What a sad fate. These african refugees have nothing to lose. Should people start buying hand guns or other means of self defense?
Yes
Arabs, middle east and east Europeans are also part of the refugees.
imagine losing a friend of one of those two, its just...... devastating, definitelty out of the blue from here as here is peaceful, just strange to see it happen in your hometown
Best wishes from Manchester. Random acts of brutality have struck in the past and still continue. Hurt and heartache.
The government has no humanity for our people horrific. I am so sorry for your loss. RIP to those beautiful innocent young souls breaks my heart. X
I graduated notts in 2021, used to live just down the road where this happened. Truly awful
Shame on our government, this stops now
Heartbreaking
Diversity strikes again.
Senseless, completely senseless. Three bright lights extinguished far too soon. Can't begin to imagine what these poor families are going through. Losing Ur son or daughter in these circumstances is beyond horrific. May they both RIP.
how terribly terribly sad
Yes absolutely awful. I'm aghast by it all.
Not many non-whites in attendance paying their respects. Isn't Nottingham diverse? 🤔
Heart breaking
*Condolences to everyone affected by the migrant crisis.* 🙏
Absolutely devastating 💔
Can't imagine their pain 😢
Part and parcel of living in a multicultural society
Blame the government for letting these criminals
Our government is a joke. Prayers and love to the families involved in this tragedy.❤❤
Indeed they are a joke, and a not very funny one either. The terrible likelihood is that they will be replaced by an even bigger bunch of morons, come the next election. Depressing isn’t it.
That’s right blame the government not the individual love this working class mentality.
Nobody is to blame for this but the sick individual who carried out this atrocity. There are bad apples everywhere it’s just unfortunate this happened.
Why are we blaming the government, the crazy murderers is to blame.
@@rodeo_onthemoon I take your point but if we aren't vetting individuals who enter our country that is irresponsible. If I had a criminal record there are countries I cannot visit never mind move to.
@@Jrlm57 Understandable but thats the thing this guy didn't have a criminal record just a histroy of mental health issues.
No charges yet?
Not yet.

Though their lives were short they were loved enough for a lifetime. Rest in peace ❤❤❤

Rarely hear fathers talking about knife crime! I watched this video for this reason.
That would be tough for them, well done lads.
These type of events always risk turning into a circus these days with social media and the whole Instagram/ Tictok generation quickly turning it into a competition of who the most virtuous is. I'm glad these men were shown respect.
Brilliant advice. That'll sort it.

This seemed really fake and like an act...whats with the girl with the Cheshire cat grin behind the first row of seats at the beginning?
