Grace O'Malley-Kumar was attacked and killed as she sought to save her friend, Barnaby Webber, from Valdo Calocane while returning from a night out.
The parents of a student who was stabbed to death in Nottingham while trying to save her friend have called for her to be awarded the George Cross so she can be 'remembered forever'. Grace O'Malley-Kumar, 19, 'heroically and valiantly fought' Valdo Calocane when he attacked fellow student Barnaby Webber as they returned from a night out celebrating the end of exams last June, her father Dr Sanjoy Kumar said.
Sinead O'Malley, Ms O'Malley-Kumar's mum, said in an interview with The Sun: 'The George Cross would be a remarkable acknowledgement of her bravery, for sure. 'Grace is never coming back to us, but we never want her to be forgotten, and this would certainly make sure she is remembered forever.' Her father Dr Sanjoy Kumar said the award 'would be an example to every other young person', as her brother James hailed her a 'hero'.
