Chilling CCTV footage captured the last moments of Bailey Atkinson's life.
A group of killer teenagers have been jailed for more than 130 years after they ambushed their victim "like lions on prey" then sliced at him with a 9.4 inch-long Rambo knife.
During the trial, jurors heard the attack was like "lions on prey", with the harrowing attack witnessed in part by Asda staff who had stepped outside for a break. They rushed to his aid as the slaughter came to an end, seconds after Bailey had wrenched the embedded blade from his body. Patrick Brookes, 18, of Hunter Crescent, Walsall, was detained for life, with a minimum term of 20 years, after being convicted of murder by a majority. Ronan McCulloch, 19, of Livingstone Road, Bloxwich, was jailed for life, with a minimum term of 20 years, after being unanimously convicted of murder.
A 17-year-old, from Marston Green, was detained for life, with a minimum term of 19 years, after being convicted of murder by a majority. Nvaah Whitter, 18, of Innovation Way, Walsall, was acquitted of murder as well as an alternative charge of manslaughter. A 16-year-old from Wallsall was also acquitted of murder and an alternative charge of manslaughter.
The victim ran back towards the market stalls before clinging on to a lamppost as the Seat Leon drove towards him again. Moments later, he was recorded on the ground as his attackers surrounded him to "lay blows," the trial heard. Bailey said "I can't breathe" before his breathing stopped altogether and CPR was then performed by medics. He was rushed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in nearby Birmingham but was pronounced dead at 2:55am.
