Two boys in Britain, who were 12 at the time of the crime, have been sentenced to at least eight and a half years in prison for the murder of 19-year-old Shawn Seesahai. This makes them the youngest individuals to be convicted of murder in the U.K. in over two decades.
The tragic incident occurred in November 2023 in Wolverhampton, where the victim, who had recently moved to England from Anguilla, was fatally stabbed in the heart with a machete by the young defendants. The boys, now 13, were found guilty of the murder in June.
