The family of a greengrocer stabbed to death outside his west Belfast home have called for a tougher response to street crime.

Harry Holland, 65, was stabbed with a screwdriver at his Norfolk Drive home on 11 September.

Mr Holland's family launched a poster and postcard campaign on Tuesday.

They also want safeguards to be put in place to ensure that persistent offenders are not released back into the community.

The Hollands joined members of the community and politicians to launch the Justice for the Victims campaign.

Posters will be put up throughout Belfast and thousands of postcards will be distributed calling on members of the public to write to their local assembly member or councillor for support.

Mr Holland's daughter, Sarah Holland, said the community had rallied round since her father's death.

Sarah said: "There has been a very positive response from people in our community and other communities.

"In getting justice for my daddy we are also highlighting issues that affect everyone across the north.

""I would encourage anyone who has an opinion or anyone who feels they should have an input to take a postcard and send it to their MLA with their views on it."

Harry's sister, Geraldine McAteer, said: "There's a real need for society to stop and take stock of where we are.

"We believe that the community response around Harry's death should really mark a sea-change in our approach. We would like to see issues of violent crime tackled more toughly."
