Leeds man was victim of 'mate crime' murder

Available for over a year

Christopher Laskaris was autistic - but was living independently in a flat in Hyde Park in Leeds, and that flat is where he was stabbed to a death by a man who had exploited his vulnerabilities and befriended him. His mother, Fiona, has spent the last decade campaigning for a change in the law - 'Christopher's Law' - which she thinks could have prevented his death. Image Credit: Getty Images
