Local businesses feeling unsafe after knife crime in Leicester

Police in Leicester are investigating a second fatal stabbing in the space of one week, and local businesses and residents have been telling us they don't feel safe.

On Wednesday night, Junior Osborne was stabbed to death on Narborough Road. Four teenagers have been charged with his murder.

And on Saturday, another man was stabbed on Conduit Street next to the Leicester Railway station. 59 year-old Sidney Palmer died at the scene.

Well on Narborough Road, local businesses say they've been left shocked, but that the area has been getting worse for some time.

Our reporter Giles Taylor has been speaking to some of them.
