She said: \u201cOn behalf of Ashton\u2019s family, it breaks our hearts to be writing this message.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe lost a father, son, family member and friend to knife crime.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo family should have to feel this pain. No mother or father should have to get that call or the knock at the door to tell them their child isn\u2019t coming home.<\/p>\n
