Shawn Seesahai seen in CCTV footage capturing his last moments before being stabbed to death by two 12-year-old boys. The 19-year-old died after being severely injured in the attack on Laburnum Road, Wolverhampton, in November 2023.
Two 12-year-old schoolboys who callously stabbed a man to death in a park with machetes before laughing about it on snapchat will not be named by the courts as a judge feared they may be 'bullied.'
Mrs Justice Tipples, sitting at Nottingham Crown Court, said she had accepted evidence contained in pre-sentence reports that naming the boys would have a detrimental impact on their welfare. The 17-year-old, who turns 18 in just six days time, is accused of carrying out the attack that killed Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine.

Defence counsel Rachel Brand KC and Paul Lewis KC both opposed the media application to lift the restriction on identifying the boys. After their conviction, social media exchanges came to light involving them and a girl witness who later attended a police station with her mother to make a statement. They are believed to be youngest defendants convicted of murder in Britain since Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, both aged 11, were found guilty in 1993 of killing two-year-old James Bulger.
