NextImg:Shawn Seesahai: Britain's youngest knife murderers jailed for eight-and-a-half years after machete attack

Britain’s youngest knife murderers have both been sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court to life with a minimum term of eight years and six months.

The pair from Wolverhampton, who were 12 years old when they killed Shawn Seesahai with a machete, cannot be named due to their age.

Mrs Justice Tipples told the pair: "Shawn was a young man, loved by his family with his future ahead of him. A jury at this court decided that you murdered him.

"The sentence I decide to pass today will not comfort Shawn’s family but it will bring to an end the legal process that they have been involved in since November last year to a close."

Both boys were unanimously convicted by jurors of murder at Nottingham Crown Court in June. They had denied the offence and stood trial.

Seesahai was killed when he crossed paths with the boys in Stowlawn playing fields, in East Park, on November 13 last year, reports BirminghamLive

The victim, who was from the British Overseas Territory of Anguilla was stabbed in the heart and 'chopped at' to his head.

The victim's family yesterday told the court that they were forced to spend their life savings on repatriating Seesahai's body. They then had to take out a loan so they could make it back to the UK for the murder trial.
