‘Knives are fashion statements’: alarm in Wolverhampton

Local people say Shawn Seesahai’s murder highlights how young people are carrying weapons because ‘it’s cool’

Janet, 65, can vividly remember the evening her 11-year-old granddaughter arrived at her house last year and said she had seen someone being given CPR on the playing field yards from her front door.

They were shocked to learn a 19-year-old man, Shawn Seesahai, had been murdered there. They were even more horrified when they learned the two perpetrators were just 12 years old.
