In films for C4 and now BBC London, Yinka Bokinni tells the story of the young people who were left with little support
Twenty years have passed since 10-year-old Damilola Taylor was stabbed as he was walking home from the library after school. For his childhood friend and neighbour Yinka Bokinni, who had not been able to bring herself to speak about his death, it was this grim anniversary that drove her to finally break her silence and to return to the place she once called home.
For much of the country, all that was known about Damilola, who was attacked with a broken bottle by two teenagers, was the hour leading to his death. Ricky and Danny Preddie were convicted of his manslaughter in 2006.
