Two 13-Year-Olds to Be Sentenced for Machete Murder of Shawn Seesahai
The boys, convicted of killing the 19-year-old in Wolverhampton, are believed to be the youngest knife murderers in UK history.
- Shawn Seesahai, originally from Anguilla, was attacked and killed by two boys, aged 12 at the time, on Wolverhampton's Stowlawn playing fields.
- The attackers, now 13, were found guilty of murder in June and are set to receive mandatory juvenile life sentences.
- Seesahai's family described the murder as senseless and are haunted by thoughts of his final moments.
- Both boys had troubled backgrounds, with one being groomed and exploited by older youths and regularly carrying a machete.
- The sentencing hearing, which began Thursday, will conclude on Friday with the minimum term for their sentences to be determined.
