'Ronan's Law', described as a 'comprehensive ban' on the possession of so-called 'zombie knives' and 'ninja swords', is to be included in today's King's Speech.
Ronan, 16, was murdered yards from his home in Lanesfield, Wolverhampton, in 2022 by two 17-year-old boys in a case of mistaken identity.
The news has been welcomed by Ronan's mother Pooja, who says her son would still be alive today had the legislation been in place at the time.
