Teenage killer’s face pictured for first time as unedited video shows him lying to police

Police have released an unedited video of Kian Moulton lying to police after murdering Leo Ross in Birmingham in a random knife attack.

Body-worn video issued by West Midlands Police shows Moulton speaking to police officers at the scene of the 12-year-old’s murder in January 2025. He tells officers that he “didn’t touch him”.

Moulton, 15, was detained for life with a minimum term of 13 years on Tuesday (10 February).

The murderer’s name was published after a judge lifted the automatic anonymity granted to under-18s in court.

Mr Justice Choudhury KC said, in his view, the killer should be named because of the public interest in the case.
