The mother of a boy killed by a ninja sword has revealed his attacker had 25 blades which he got 'as easily as buying a loaf of bread' - as a new ban comes into force.

Ronan Kanda was brutally murdered yards away from his Wolverhamption home in 2022 when two 17-year-old boys mistook him for someone else.

A ban on the weapon - the ninja sword - has now come into effect today following a campaign by Ronan's family.

Speaking to Good Morning Britain this morning, his mother Pooja said: 'The murderer had 25 of these weapons - it wasn't just one, two or three.

'When I saw the ninja sword for the first time in the courtroom I fainted because I didn't know at that point how the large the weapon was.
