I’ve just read a piece in The Guardian (sorry I’m rubbish at links) and it is about the murder of a young man who came to Britain from Anguilla in the Caribbean, to seek treatment for his cataracts. He was brutally murdered by two children, twelve years old, using a machete. They stabbed him though the heart and viciously punched him and stamped on his head. These two boys have apparently become two of the youngest convicted murderers in the UK after jurers unanimously found them guilty on Monday.
It appears that this young man suffered an appallingly violent attack, and I felt so saddened and overcome when reading how he died. Such a horrible death inflicted by children, who are too young to be named.
They will be sentenced in July and I really hope they will receive an appropriate sentence, because such young children committing such a violent attack are surely not going to be safe for release for a very long time.
