'He brought so much joy to my life'
The mother of a University of Northampton student stabbed to death has paid tribute to her "kind and generous" son. Kwabena Osei-Poku, known as Alfred, was originally from Peterborough. He was attacked in New South Bridge Road at around 8.40pm on April 23.
"I have spoken with those he worked alongside and am so proud of the way he was able to help children on sports’ projects as well as during Black History Month in October. “He was always there if I needed time off or to go away, he would always volunteer to care for his younger siblings. When he looked at you, it was like he could see into your soul. He was genuinely a joy to our home and a precious individual to our family, friends and his community.
"This week, Northamptonshire Police is running a campaign which aims to tackle knife crime and I support their aim to educate young people and reduce knife crime across the county. The grief I feel as a result of losing my son cannot be put into words.
