The BBC documentary "Damilola: The Untold Story" airs on BBC 2 on Monday, October 5, promising new insights into the death of Damilola Taylor, an 11-year-old boy from Peckham in London who was killed on November 27, 2000. Damilola was stabbed with a broken beer bottle while walking home from the library and died after being left in a stairwell. It took six years for Danny and Ricky Preddie, aged 12 and 13 at the time of the attack, to be convicted of manslaughter. The case shocked the nation and led Damilola's parents, Richard and Gloria Taylor, to establish the Damilola Taylor Trust, which aims to prevent youth crime and support inner-city students in medical education.
