The family of tragic teen Kory McCrimmon is calling on Scotland to rise up against youth violenc<\/a>e a year after their son was stabbed to death in a senseless gang dispute.<\/p>\n His mum and dad, Neil and Elizabeth, will lead a peaceful “Parents Against Knives” march from Ibrox to Celtic Park on June 8. The symbolic walk across Glasgow\u2019s<\/a> football divide will mark the first anniversary of Kory\u2019s brutal killing on May 31 last year.<\/p>\n The march will demand urgent action on Scotland\u2019s growing knife crime crisis among kids.<\/p>\n Kory was just 16 when he was knifed through the heart<\/a> in Greenfield Park in Glasgow’s east end in a row over \u00a350.<\/p>\n His killer, who was 13 at the time, was jailed<\/a> for five years earlier this month. The pair were associated with rival gangs and had previously exchanged threats to one another on social media.<\/p>\n But on the night of Kory’s death<\/a>, the killer stormed into the park alongside a group wielding batons, bats and bladed weapons. During a fight between the pair, the killer struck out with a knife and stabbed Kory in the chest.<\/p>\n The schoolboy<\/a>, who played for Easterhouse Football Academy, died in hospital two days later.<\/p>\n Kory\u2019s devastated parents have joined other campaigners to turn their grief into action with a walk they hope will wake up the country to a youth knife epidemic<\/a> claiming too many lives.<\/p>\n They said: “We walk in Kory\u2019s name, but we stand for all those lives lost to knife violence. Too much, too many. No more.<\/p>\n “This peaceful walk is to continue highlighting the increase in deaths and danger by knife crime and if we can prevent at least one more family going through the inexpressible pain and life shattering grief of a lost child, Kory\u2019s death will not be in vain.<\/p>\n Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.<\/p>\n You’ll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.<\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.<\/p>\n All you have to do is click here if you’re on mobile<\/strong><\/a>, select ‘Join Community’ and you’re in!<\/p>\n If you’re on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click ‘Join Community’.<\/p>\n We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.

The Record recently told the harrowing story of Kayden Moy, another Glasgow teen lost to the blade.<\/p>\n The schoolboy, from East Kilbride, had been enjoying a day out at Irvine Beach in Ayrshire last Saturday before he suffered fatal stab<\/a> wounds. A 17-year-old boy has since appeared in court charged with his murder<\/a>.<\/p>\n Kayden is now the third life lost to youth violence<\/a> in Scotland in under 12 months. As well as Kory, Amen Teklay<\/a>, 15, died on a Glasgow street on March 5.<\/p>\n Two teenagers, aged 14 and 16, previously appeared in court<\/a> charged with Amen\u2019s murder, while a 15-year-old is facing an assault charge. All made no plea.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/498327043_1092521089576159_8670324835442145385_n-1.jpg\")
