Murder of Shawn Seesahai by 12-year-olds in park shocked

Two boys found guilty of killing in Wolverhampton are UK’s youngest convicted murderers for more than 30 years

Surrounded by quiet residential streets and the grounds of a primary school, Stowlawn playing fields in Wolverhampton are normally a place where teenagers kick a football around and children pass through as they walk home from school.

When Shawn Seesahai came across two 12-year-old boys hanging out in the park with a friend, he would not have expected one of them to be carrying a deadly weapon, or that minutes later they would use that weapon to kill him in a brutal, random attack.
