Horrific, this sounds like an afterschool robbery, poor little guy

[Zizu]

Start giving these senseless murderers extremely long sentences as a deterrent

He'll probably be protected and get a light sentence.

It's because he is underage tbf.

But a tragic story to read about nonetheless.

The victim was also a child ,and will be 12 years old forever now.

The victim was also a child ,and will be 12 years old forever now.

I get what you're saying tbf.

But in a country that struggles to give out appropriate sentences to adults that are murderers, it's even less likely to expect a child to be given a tough sentence.

…just 10 minutes from home….for any parent to lose a child is unimaginable but to have their life taken in such a violent way adds another layer….

‘Sarah Coombes, Labour MP for West Bromwich, told the BBC police needed more money, knives needed to be taken off the streets, and there needed to be early intervention.’…

…just words that are hollow and empty when the government over time has cut back so much funding for that early intervention and still there appears to be no priority …the funding now for justice and sentencing etc will be much greater than that of any interventions that could have been looked at and implemented…

Poor kid. Poor family.

The Evil Killer
is underage.

So no data is on him

[Cherie]

He is being questioned about 2 further attacks, the 80 year old and someone else

[Beso]

I give up.
