It was an emotional moment for an anti-knife campaigner after the installation of potentially life saving equipment at the spot where his brother was murdered. 

The bleed kit was installed in Ancaster Road near Ipswich railway station, which is where, seven years ago, Dean Stansby was killed.

The father-of-five from Trimley St Mary was fatally stabbed by three men, who were given life sentences in 2018, with a fourth man also being involved from London.

Over the last two years, Dean's brother, Paul, and his business partner Jamie Hart started the Lucky Anti Crime Foundation to roll out the kits across the town.

The co-founders of Lucky 13 Tattoo Studio in Ipswich have now installed 53 kits in the town and the wider area.

The most recent kit, installed at the site of Dean's death, has been donated by Suffolk Swords, who raised the funds for it with a 5k run in full armour weighing north of five stone.

Paul said: "For me, it was very emotional, and also a very important box for me to be able to get put down there.

"I cannot thank the public enough who have come together and made Ipswich safer.

"I know that the pain is so real, it's not something you ever get over, and I wish the pain on no one, so if we can continue to put as many kits around the town as possible, it would help ensure no one else feels the pain I feel every day from the repercussions of what happened to my brother."

Medieval re-enactment group Suffolk Swords raised  enough money to buy three bleed kits to be installed in Ipswich.

Dave Kirkby, a member at Suffolk Swords, said: "As a group that trains with replica medieval weaponry, we understand the potential dangers of just blunt weapons so we're proud to have
partnered with the Be Lucky Anti Crime Foundation to raise awareness and help equip Ipswich and the local community with these life-saving medical kits.

"It was a great honour to be there to see it installed.

"Not only did it show the results of our fundraising efforts, but the location held a personal connection for Paul."
