‘Justice served’ as 12-year-old killers have jailtime increased The two boys were 12 years old when they savagely attacked Shawn Seesahai, 19, with a machete in a Wolverhampton park.
The family of slain teen Shawn Seesahai says “justice has been served” after a court increased the sentences of his two murderers, the UK’s youngest knife killers.
The two boys, who cannot be identified, were both aged 12 when they fatally attacked Mr Seesahai, 19, in Wolverhampton on November 13 last year, and were sentenced in September.
Following the decision, Mr Seesahai’s family welcomed the court’s decision to increase the sentences: “We recognise that justice has been served today for the murder of our beloved son.”.
“While no sentence can ever bring Shawn back, we feel that today’s decision better reflects the gravity of the actions that took him from us and acknowledges the immense loss we live with every day.”.
