A teenager brought back to life after being fatally stabbed in south London has told his attackers he “did not deserve this”, as they were sentenced to life in prison.
James Bascoe-Smith, then aged 16, was knocked off a bicycle by a stolen Range Rover and repeatedly knifed by masked men near his home in Brixton last February. He effectively died for nearly an hour but was brought miraculously back to life by medics.
