Age ban 'should go beyond knives'
A forthcoming ban on under 18s buying knives should be extended to other deadly weapons, the chairman of the Policing Board has said.
It follows a campaign by the family of a 24-year-old Belfast man, beaten to death with a medieval-type spiked ball and chain in west Belfast in 2002.
Sir Desmond Rea said access to these weapons should also be restricted.
"We would be asking does that offer the opportunity to expand the remit of the law to cover these weapons," he said.

Yes, that's right...there has apparently been a rash of morningstar assaults. Or so one would believe.
