Birds of a Feather actress Linda Robson has revealed how her son’s mental health deteriorated after witnessing the fatal stabbing of his best friend Ben Kinsella.
Louis, now 22, was holding 16-year-old Ben, brother of former EastEnders actress Brooke Kinsella, in his arms when the ambulance arrived after the attack outside a bar in Islington, London, in 2008.
Now, his mother has opened up on how the death of Ben affected Louis, and how she was told by a doctor that he needed to be sectioned.
Linda Robson’s son and Ben Kinsella had been best friends since the age of eight, and it was Louis who called the ambulance and tried to stem the bleeding with his cardigan after Ben was stabbed 11 times outside a bar in Islington six years ago.
‘Louis went back to Ben. He was holding him in his arms on the floor,’ Linda told the Daily Mail in 2011.
