Boy Who Killed Teenager In Brutal Murder Rapped About Knives And Drugs When He Was 9

One told the Telegraph: “He would come back at four in the morning. I wondered why a 12 year old kid came home at four in the morning?

“You could see he was carrying a knife. I told the police he was carrying a knife and I told social services he was carrying a knife.

“He went out every night of the week. He was part of gangs. The gang members would be waiting for him in this alley.

“I don't want him breaking into my house when I'm away.” I barbed everything. I hid the window.

“His friend was always with him. They were always together, pinching each other, night after night. Scum, that's all he was.

A dirty job

Another neighbor added: “I can’t believe the force that was used came from someone so small. He was a bad guy. »

Mr Seesahai, 19, who had only been in the country for six months and was from the British Overseas Territory of Anguilla in the Caribbean, was attacked while discussing his Christmas plans with a friend in a Wolverhampton park last November.

The fatal wound in his back was more than 8 inches deep and the blade of the machete, which was nearly 17 inches long, went through his heart and almost came out of his chest.

Tributes have poured in for the victim, including from his former school, Albena Lake Hodge Comprehensive School in Anguilla.

The victim was “a gentle person”

A member of staff at the school told the Telegraph: “At the very beginning I knew he was a gentle person.

“He would occasionally get into trouble with other children, such as loitering in the hallways, but it was nothing to worry about.”

Shortly before the fatal encounter, his attackers, who “often” carried a machete, passed it between them on the Stowlawn playing fields in East Park, Wolverhampton.

The victim's friend told the trial he was forced to flee for his life, but Mr Seesahai tripped as he tried to run away from the boys.

After refusing to answer police questions following the murder, the boys both testified to jurors, blaming each other for the fatal blow.

As well as failing to seek help for Mr Seesahai, the youths showed no remorse for what they had done in the 24 hours before their arrest – with one cleaning up the machete with bleach and hid it under his bed.

They told the court they had both been playing video games in the hours after the murder, saying they did not know Mr Seesahai had died until the next day.

Jurors heard one of the defendants posed for a photo with the murder weapon, wearing a mask, hours before the murder. It was found that there were 11 areas of blood stains on his clothes.
