A life-saving bleed kit has been installed at an Ilford pupil referral centre (PRU) in memory of murdered teenager Kamran Khalid.

Kamran, 18, was killed with a so-called Rambo knife in a road rage attack in October 2021. He was stabbed 34 times.

A bleed kit, donated by Bin Knives Saves Lives in Redbridge, has now been installed at the Constance Bridgeman Centre, in a cabinet bearing Kamran’s name and photograph.

His mother Samina hopes it will save future stab victims.

The centre, in Loxford Lane, offers education to teenagers who have been excluded from school or referred due to “social, emotional or behavioural difficulties”.

The kit contains medical equipment to help slow down blood loss after a serious injury, such as a stab wound.

Tony Clayton, head of the Constance Bridgeman Centre, has encouraged other schools to install the kits.

“I have met with Kamran’s mother Samina on a couple of occasions and have been moved by her story and impressed with her resilience,” he said.

“I was keen to install it at our site as part of our commitment to our local community. I do recommend any school take up this opportunity if it is offered, as a service to their students and their neighbours.”

Kamran - an ex-pupil of Roding Valley High School in Loughton and former member of Chelsea FC’s development team – was stabbed to death in Harrow Road.

After a trip to the gym, he complained to two brothers whose van was blocking South Park Road.

There followed an argument and a chase around the neighbourhood, during which the brothers called an accomplice, who brought them the Rambo knife.  

Kamran bled to death in the street.

“The bleed kit has everything needed to stop blood loss until the emergency services arrive, which can potentially save a life,” said Samina.

“Unfortunately, my son was not able to be saved but hopefully another life can be.

“This will keep his memory alive…. the community can still remember him whilst the kit can save lives.”

In the event of an emergency, a member of the public can dial 999 and be given a code to unlock the cabinet, releasing the equipment.
