24 Hours in Police Custody Investigates: Zombie Knives
Zombie Knives
An investigation into the epidemic of knife crime violence that left 97 young people murdered in 2025, 17 of whom were under the age of 16. Part of the problem is the zombie-style knives and swords, which were finally banned from being sold in 2024. The documentary reveals how two brothers, Adam and Eddy Eliaz, made it their business to run companies importing and selling blades, and tells the stories of Ashraf Habimana, Omar Khan and Ronan Kanda - all murdered by children with zombie-style knives that they'd bought online
24 Hours in Police Custody Investigates: Zombie Knives airs on Channel 4 +1 at 10:00 PM, Tuesday 20 January. (Audio Description, new, subtitles.)
