The family of Grace O'Malley-Kumar, the 19-year-old student who died after being attacked in Nottingham last June, have paid tribute to her in a 大象传媒 interview.

Grace was from Woodford Green and died alongside fellow student and 19 year old Barnaby Webber - who were both on their way back from a night out when they were stabbed to death.

A 65-year-old school caretaker, Ian Coates, was attacked shortly after and also died.

On Tuesday prosecutors accepted the plea of manslaughter from the attacker Valdo Calocane on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

The court also heard that Grace was killed while "heroically" trying to protect her friend.

Grace's father Dr Sanjoy Kumar and mother, Sinead, as well as her younger brother James have been speaking to the 大象传媒's Jon Kay:
