Shawn Seesahai: Young murderers’ sentence increased

The boys were previously detained for a minimum of eight years and six months.

The Solicitor General had referred the sentences of both boys to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme (ULS).

On Thursday, lawyers for the Solicitor General said their sentences were unduly lenient and should be increased, stating it was a “particularly serious type of case”.

The judge said full written reasons for the decision would be given at a later date.

The boys are believed to be the youngest defendants convicted of murder in the UK since 11-year-olds Robert Thompson and Jon Venables were found guilty of killing two-year-old James Bulger in 1993.
