The Court of Appeal will on Thursday consider whether to change the sentence of the two 13-year-old killers of Shawn Seesahai, who became Britain’s youngest knife murderers when they were convicted at Nottingham Crown Court earlier this year.
The two boys, known only as BGI and CMB for legal reasons, were aged 12 at the time of the murder and are believed to be the youngest defendants convicted of the crime in the UK since Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, both aged 11, were found guilty in 1993 of killing two-year-old James Bulger.
