Horrific act committed in England - Twelve-year-old duo convicted of homicide.
In a shocking turn of events, two 12-year-olds have been convicted of murder in England. On Monday, a jury in Nottingham pronounced these boys guilty of stabbing a 19-year-old man with a machete in November 2023.
These minors are now the youngest murder convicts in the country since the infamous case of James Bulger, murdered by two 10-year-olds three decades ago. The specific sentence will be declared later on.
The culprits had assaulted the 19-year-old and his buddy in a park close to Birmingham. While the friend was able to flee, the 19-year-old tripped and got attacked with kicks, fists, and a 42.5-centimeter-long machete. The fatal blow pierced his heart. The defendants blamed each other throughout the lengthy trial. Nevertheless, the jury determined that both were responsible.
The motive behind the crime remained a mystery during the trial. The 19-year-old and his friend encountered the two boys and a 12-year-old girl in the park. They were complete strangers. One of the accused claimed that the later victim had threatened them, demanding they surrender a bank. However, the prosecutor asserted that there was no cause for the assault, the 19-year-old had behaved peacefully.
