It reminds me a bit of the Yorkshire ripper case, when it only seemed to be taken seriously when a 'nice' girl was murdered by him. I've been reading for months about the increase in knife crime/deaths, but it has only been the deaths of these two students that has sparked a public outcry and resulted in a response from the government. And has also given the police carte blanche [at last] to openly criticise the government [and it's previous Home Secretary].
