Knife victim Yusufu Miiro wanted to be a detective

David Leppard and Abul Taher on the dreams of one of the six killed in Britain’s worst day of knifings



A “model” student killed in a knife attack in London dreamt of becoming a police detective, his grieving family said yesterday.



Yusufu Miiro, a criminology student at Middlesex University, was one of six people murdered in knife attacks on Thursday.



It was the bloodiest day so far in the spate of knife crimes that has swept across Britain and is causing deep unease in Downing Street. Senior Scotland Yard detectives are baffled by the number of attacks.



Miiro, 20, was stabbed in the head and chest in the stairwell of a block of flats in Walthamstow, northeast London. He had left his girlfriend’s flat to collect takeaway food when he was attacked by a man wearing a white “Scream” mask.
