If you own one today
You will get 4 years in Jail.



[After three years of relentless campaigning,
the law that Pooja Kanda has so fiercely fought
for finally comes into effect on Friday.

Ronan's Law, named after her son, will outlaw
the manufacture, supply, sale, possession
and importation of ninja swords.

However, for Ms Kanda, it comes several years
too late. While this law may save countless lives,
it cannot bring her own son back.

"It should have been implemented years ago.
[If it had], I absolutely believe that he
would still be here today."

Ronan Kanda, 16, had visited a friend's
house to buy a PlayStation controller in June 2022.

He was just yards from his home in
Wolverhampton when he was fatally stabbed
with a ninja sword in a case of mistaken identity.

"I want to say what an amazing wonderful
son he was," Ms Kanda said.

"He deserved to live. He would have made
a positive impact on this planet."

Two teenagers - Prabjeet Veadhesa
and Sukhman Shergill - were
convicted of his murder.

On the day of the murder, Veadhesa
had collected a ninja sword set and
a large machete from a local post office,
after buying them online using a fake name.

"That 16-year-old could get that [sword]
just by going to the shop, while getting bread
and milk," Ms Kanda said.]
