A WOMAN whose husband was killed in a barbaric knife attack by two teenagers who tried to decapitate him is backing a campaign to warn young people about the dangers of carrying knives. Robert Wilson, 53, from Birstall, was investigating youths hanging around outside the Thornton and Ross pharmaceutical plant in Huddersfield in January 2019, when he was attacked by Kiyran Earnshaw, 18, and 16-year-old Luke Gaukroger, who passed the 20-inch samurai sword between them. Audio recorded from Mr Wilson’s phone call to a security firm captured Gaukroger – who was 15 at the time – shouting “get his head.” Mr Wilson had left the plant to talk to the youths in the car park with colleagues Paul Thewliss and John Badejo.
