The Government is holding an amnesty for those in possession of so-called ‘zombie knives’ and machetes to hand them in at police stations without repercussions ahead of a ban which is due to come into force on September 24.

Ronan, 16, was murdered yards from his home in Lanesfield, Wolverhampton, in 2022 by two 17-year-old boys carrying swords in a case of mistaken identity.

His family has been campaigning for Ronan’s Law to be introduced which would mean legislation banning the possession of so-called ‘zombie knives’ and ‘ninja swords’.
