The mother of the victim was named as a science teacher by a nearby school as The Holy Family School in Walthamstow said their staff member’s son, named as Mrs Anjorin, was taken “suddenly” from her while on the way to school.
Sadly, Grace had also lost her life in a knife attack in Nottingham while attending university. Her family has sent the teenage boy’s family their condolences.
Grace’s mother wrote, “I don’t think there’s anything anybody can say that can really do anything to alleviate their hurt and their pain.”
Grace’s father, Dr. Sanjoy Kumar addressed the attack as horrific.
In an interview with Good Morning Britain, he mentioned that only a few like them who have lost children in these absolutely appalling circumstances could truly understand the anguish felt by the 14-year-old’s family.
Her mother is hoping that the family will get better eventually. Hainault is approximately fifteen minutes away by automobile from Woodford Green, east London, where the O’Malley-Kumar family resides.
