Tyiesha Litambola was among young people who took to the stage to talk about their own experiences of crime.

Her voice wavering, she began: "Last year my little brother was killed," and went on to tell of how 17-year-old Biendi, known as Bobby, was beaten to death in Canning Town.

Tyiesha described how he was left lying in the street in broad daylight for 15 minutes before any help came.

"Safety in our city is something we need to work on for our younger brothers and sisters ... but also for future generations," she said.

The four candidates sat heads bowed - Mr Livingstone had his face in his hands at one point - as she spoke.

Bobby was due to start at Barking and Dagenham College after completing a course with the Princes Trust. Two men have been charged with his murder and will stand trial later this year.
