The fatal stabbing of 10-year-old Damilola Taylor on a Peckham estate in November 2000 shocked the nation and raised disturbing questions about the increasingly violent world that many of our children are growing up in. To mark the tenth anniversary of the tragedy, four of Damilola's closest friends speak for the first time about the impact the murder had on them, how they've coped over the years and what the future holds for themselves and their community.
