Croydon: Elianne Andam’s parents are making it clear that they won’t let knife crime slide. After their 15-year-old daughter was killed, they’re determined to see justice served.
Her dad, Michael, spoke out after the trial, sharing his wish for a world where no family has to go through such pain. He said their lives were shattered on September 27, 2023, when they lost Elianne in such a brutal way.
Elianne was just a kid with dreams and a bright future ahead of her. Her death has left a huge gap in their lives that can never be filled. Michael mentioned that the trial forced them to face the heartbreaking details of her last moments, which will haunt them forever.
While the verdict is a step toward justice, it doesn’t bring Elianne back. They want to honor her memory instead of focusing on the trial’s pain. She was a loving and kind person who stood up for what was right, and they think about her every day.
Michael expressed gratitude to everyone who supported them through this tough time, including family, friends, and the community. Their kindness has helped them cope with this unimaginable journey.
As they start to heal, they see the verdict as a chance for change. They’re committed to fighting against the violence that took Elianne away, sharing her story to prevent other families from suffering the same fate.
He also thanked everyone for their love and support, asking for privacy as they grieve. Elianne’s life mattered, and her legacy will always be in their hearts.
Meanwhile, Hassan Sentamu, the 18-year-old found guilty of Elianne’s murder, was in court as Michael spoke. He was supported by family and the police team that worked on the case.
