A “cowardly” 15-year-old boy who stabbed schoolboy Leo Ross to death in a random attack, tried to drown an 82-year-old woman and attacked two other elderly women days before the fatal incident has been detained for a minimum of 13 years.
The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, injured three women in separate attacks in the days before he stabbed 12-year-old Leo in the stomach as he walked home from school through a country park and then loitered around to watch the aftermath so he could “derive maximum enjoyment” from his actions.
