The family of a teenage musician who came back from the dead after being repeatedly stabbed slammed his two attackers for “sentencing him to life in a wheelchair” as they were jailed on Friday.

James Bascoe-Smith, then 16, was left with profound and life-changing injuries when he was knocked off his mother’s bicycle during a test-ride by a stolen black Range Rover in Brixton.
