As part of our Knife Crime Awareness and Education Campaign running throughout February, 2025, assistant director of operations, Kirsten Willis-Drewett, visited Amanda and Stuart Stephens at their home in Emmer Green, Reading.
Kirsten was the operational commander leading the SCAS response to the emergency call we received on 3 January, 2021, reporting that Amanda and Stuart’s 13-year-old son, Olly, had been attacked and stabbed just yards from his home.
Kirsten’s visit was the first time she had returned to the scene or spoken to Amanda and Stephen since that day.
