Brooke Kinsella has shared a moving tribute to her brother Ben 15 years after his murder.
The EastEnders actor posted a throwback picture of her and her younger sibling on Instagram, as she shared that when she said goodbye to him they were “the hardest words” she’d ever had to say.
Ben was stabbed to death in London in June 2008, at the age of 16, while he was out celebrating the end of his GCSEs.

“15 years ago today we had to say goodbye to you,” Brooke wrote alongside the childhood snap and an essay about death that had “By Ben Kinsella” at the bottom.
“They remain the hardest words I’ve ever had to say.
“I don’t seem to have any words left so I’ll take some small comfort from yours.”
“I will love you forever Benjamina,” added the star.
Brooke, 39, added a single red heart emoji to her touching post.
The piece shared by the actor was told from the perspective of someone who had passed away.
He tells how he is "not scared any more" and has "no weight" on his shoulders.
Ben was stabbed in Islington by three male youths.
Jade Braithwaite, Michael Alleyne and Juress Kika were jailed after being found guilty of the murder.
His family later launched the Ben Kinsella Trust, which aims to tackle knife crime through education and campaigning.
