Where did you get that statistic from?

Edit: 46 during first quarter - just found that. London is overtaking New York for murder rate, apparently.

@fazer1k it's in the press today. I live in London so we get the count almost daily.

@Ironicman Has the rate been pushed up by terrorism?

@fazer1k no this is purely knife crimes amongst young men, gang related

@fazer1k yep, it appears to be the case
