Tearful mother delivers emotional plea after Lakeside killer jailed

The mother of a murder victim delivered a tearful speech after the killer, known as the Lakeside murderer, was sentenced to 27 years in jail.

Lauretta Ugwa, the mother of Michael Ugwa, who was stabbed to death, called for tougher and longer sentences for "cases like Michael's" in her passionate speech.

Muhammad Khan, 24, stabbed a father-of-three, Michael Ugwa, 29, to death in a food hall at Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex in April last year.

In the video, Lauretta suggests that tougher sentences would help lead to a "substantial decline" in knife crime.
