“Yesterday, a senseless attack took a much-loved man away from his family, friends and community,” he said on October 29th. “Our thoughts are with them at this unimaginably difficult time. There is no place for knife crime on our streets. I’d again like to reassure local residents that myself and my team are working meticulously to find those responsible.”

Robb’s mother also paid tribute to her son following his death. “The loss of Messiah has left a hole in our hearts which will never be filled,” she said. “Messiah was a son, a brother, a grandson, a nephew, a cousin and a friend.”

She added, “His family and friends have been left devastated. He was a bubbly young man with a contagious smile that would light up the room.”
