Ronan Kanda: The Boy Who Changed UK Knife Crime Law: A True Story of Loss, Justice, and the Fight Behind Ronan's Law

By Desmond S. Justice

He was just walking home. What happened next would change the law.
When 16-year-old Ronan Kanda was attacked and killed with a ninja sword on a quiet street in Wolverhampton, the UK was shaken. The murder made headlines-not just for its brutality, but for its senselessness. Ronan was not involved in gangs. He wasn't carrying a weapon. He was a good student. A loving son. An ordinary teenager in the wrong place at the wrong time.
But his death would not be the end of his story.
Ronan Kanda: The True Crime Story That Changed UK Knife Laws is a powerful, deeply human account of one family's grief-and the extraordinary fight that followed. Led by his mother, Pooja Kanda, this true story traces the journey from tragedy to justice, from personal loss to national reform. Her campaign inspired Ronan's Law, a groundbreaking piece of UK legislation banning the sale and private possession of dangerous ninja swords and holding online retailers accountable.
This book dives into: The heartbreaking details of Ronan's murderThe criminal investigation and court trial that followedThe loopholes in UK knife laws that allowed the weapon to be purchased onlineThe creation and impact of Ronan's LawPooja Kanda's ongoing advocacy to protect other children from the same fateWith real interviews, legal insights, and emotional storytelling, this is more than a true crime book-it's a call to action.
