The knife used was not likely to be a kirpan. Most are about 3in blades with 3in hits (Total of 6in), and are purely a faith based tool that can only be drawn in self defense. The killer used a shastar (which is effectively a weapon for offense in their culture), specifically a pesh-kabz. That is an 8in blade that is not permitted under uk law to be carried around to my knowledge.
However the killer had a bit of an arsenal of knives as well in his home, and shouted a lot to indicate he was very much the aggressor in the case. I suspect there was something boiling up in that twat's nature which caused him to seek out someone to kill, and poor Henry got gutted by this lunatic.
The politicians capitalising on this to ban all knives (again) are basically conflating the two. It's like calling a bb gun a hunting rifle because they both shoot projectiles.

Thanks for the added detail, that’s pretty much exactly what I was expecting after finding the base story, but didn’t see all those details.
UK is run by massive twunts.
Just saw the bodycam footage, as opposed to going by those BBC stories, and those police should all be arrested.
You know, assuming the British government didn’t hate the British.
