Two churches in Ipswich have announced they will be ringing their bells 18 times, one week after an 18-year-old was stabbed to death in the town centre.
Raymond James Quigley died after being stabbed in broad daylight in Westgate Street on Tuesday, January 17.
Two teens have since been arrested by Suffolk police in connection with the incident.
One week one, St Mary le Tower, Ipswich's town and civic church, will be joined by St Mary at the Elms in tolling their bells 18 times - representing each year of the victim's life.
"What has happened in our town is an absolute travesty," said Rev Tom Mumford, Vicar at St Mary le Tower.
"This is a way of remembering and enabling people to reflect as a community.
"Our hearts go out to the victim’s family and friends, and all who are traumatised having witnessed such horror.
"We welcome anyone who wants to mark this occasion to either come to our churchyards or simply stop in the town centre on hearing the bells."
Floral tributes have been left in Westgate Street, with candles also being left in remembrance of the 18-year-old.
One message read: "We all love you. We will meet again some day bro."
Mr Quigley suffered four stab wounds to the torso and died as a result of these injuries, a Home Office post-mortem examination held last Thursday concluded.
After the incident, Ipswich MP Tom Hunt said it was "deeply disturbing" to hear of a fatal stabbing happen "in broad daylight".
Councillor Sam Murray of the Castle Hill ward added: "I'm dismayed.
"We need to get on top of this. Children are dying."
A 17-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man, both from the Ipswich area, have since been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.
Police presence in the town centre has also been increased, with a mobile station placed on the Cornhill.
"We continue to pray for Raymond, for his parents, his family, and all who knew and loved him," concluded Rev Mumford.
"Prayers will be said for the victim, their family, all who have been affected, and for justice and peace."
