0:00These two 12 year old boys
0:01have been jailed after killing a man with a machete.
0:04The boys ambushed 19 year old Sean Ceesay high
0:08during a completely random encounter in a Wolverhampton park
0:11on November 13th, 2023.
0:14Sean was sitting with a friend at Stolon playing fields
0:17when the two boys approached them.
0:19Sean had never met them before.
0:20One of the boys had brought a 15 inch machete from home
0:24and was hiding it under his clothing.
0:26After Sean and his friend returned to a bench
0:28and asked the boys to move,
0:29the situation suddenly turned violent.
0:32Sean's friend managed to escape,
0:33but Sean was fatally wounded and died at the scene.
0:37The boys fled the park with the weapon
0:39and one later cleaned the machete with bleach
0:41before hiding it underneath his bed,
0:43where police eventually found it.
0:45Both boys denied murder and blamed each other for the fatal attack,
0:49but a jury found them both guilty,
0:51making them Britain's youngest convicted killers in more than 30 years.
0:55They were initially given minimum terms of eight years and six months,
0:59but the court of appeal later increased both sentences
1:02to minimum terms of 10 years.
