The two boys were 12 when they killed Shawn Seesahai in a park in Wolverhampton last year.
A judge has ruled that two young murderers should not be named publicly, despite stabbing a man to death when they were both 12 years old.
Mrs Justice Tipples told Nottingham Crown Court that she had rejected an application from media organisations for the two boys to be named. The application was brought by media organisations ITN, NewsCorp and Associated Newspapers, who argued that identifying the boys was in the public interest.It was also claimed there was evidence of institutional failings, which the media would be less able to investigate and expose if the boys' identities were not made public.
She also said details of the case had been widely reported and debated, and that the absence of the boys' names would not "leave a vacuum" in the way the case could be covered.The ruling was announced ahead of the sentencing hearing in September, to allow for any appeal against it.
