Baby-faced boy tried to become gang boss after years terrorising community but was stabbed 27 times

A baby-faced 10-year-old boy who 'terrorised the community' went on to become a teenage drugs gang boss but got stabbed 27 times with a machete.

Alfie Hodgin, now 18, was locked up on Wednesday (October 5) after being caught with more than £2,000 of heroin and crack cocaine while 'slumped on the floor covered in blood' following the vicious attack, the Liverpool Echo reports. This 'retribution' came after he had stolen drugs and a graft phone from a county lines ring which he had previously been working for.

It has now been revealed that Hodgin fell into committing crime at an alarmingly young age. In December 2014, at the age of just 10, he was 'one of the youngest people ever to receive an anti-social behaviour order'.
