Two boys in Britain who were 12 when they stabbed a stranger to death with a machete have been sentenced to at least eight and a half years in prison. They are the youngest people convicted of murder in the U.K. for more than 20 years. The defendants were convicted in June of murdering 19-year-old Shawn Seesahai.
LONDON — Two boys in Britain who were 12 when they stabbed a stranger to death with a machete were sentenced on Friday to at least eight and a half years in prison. They are the youngest people convicted of murder in the U.K. for more than 20 years.
“What you did is horrific and shocking,” the judge said at Nottingham Crown Court. “You did not know Shawn, he was a stranger to you. You both killed Shawn in an attack that lasted less than a minute when he asked you to move.”
