Families of knife crime victims speak out to call for change
Three people who have lost a family member to knife crime have shared their stories and made a call for change in how knife crime is dealt with in Scotland.
It was announced today that the Lockerbie bombing trial has been postponed for the third time. This is due to new evidence being uncovered.
The trial will now take place in January 2027.

Our support is free, independent and confidential, and we can support you no matter where you are in Scotland or when the crime took place.
