"Awful Case" UK’s ‘Youngest Knife Killers’ Have Murder Sentences Increased At Court of Appeal

Two boys believed to be Britain’s youngest knife murderers have had the minimum terms of their life sentences for the killing of Shawn Seesahai increased at the Court of Appeal.

The defendants, both 13, were given life sentences with minimum terms of eight-and-a-half years for the murder of Mr Seesahai, 19, in Wolverhampton on November 13 last year.

They were aged 12 at the time of the killing and became the youngest defendants convicted of the crime in the UK since Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, both aged 11, were found guilty in 1993 of murdering two-year-old James Bulger.

Talk’s Mike Graham discusses the story with former Met detective Peter Bleksley.
