A yoga instructor, Leanne Lucas, who survived a stabbing attack by Axel Rudakubana, has not used a kitchen knife since the incident, feeling unsafe in her own kitchen. As the anniversary of the attack approaches, she advocates for a ban on pointed kitchen knives to prevent future violence, citing their role in the murder of three children during a workshop last year. Lucas is launching the campaign “Let’s Be Blunt” during Knife Crime Awareness Week, aiming to raise awareness about the dangers of sharp kitchen knives, which are frequently involved in domestic violence incidents.
