In a shocking and heartbreaking case, a 12-year-old boy has been found guilty, along with another 12-year-old, of the brutal murder of 19-year-old Shawn Seesahai. The attack, which took place in a Wolverhampton park, involved the use of a 16-inch machete and has left the community in shock and fear.
According to residents, the young boy, described as "a thoroughly nasty piece of work," had been terrorizing the neighborhood for some time. In fact, one resident even went so far as to put up barbed wire to keep the "scum" out. The boy and his friends were known for their reckless behavior, often stealing scooters and causing trouble, such as posting fireworks through letterboxes.
One resident, who wished to remain anonymous, recalled seeing the boy carrying a knife and causing havoc every night of the week. Gang members would often be seen waiting for him in the alleyways. The resident, who feared for his own safety, took measures to protect his home by barbed-wiring it and screening the windows. He also expressed concern for the boy's friend, who was always by his side and involved in their mischievous activities.
Shawn Seesahai, the victim of this senseless crime, was a stranger to the two boys. Originally from Anguilla in the Caribbean, he had come to the UK for medical treatment. His tragic death has left his family devastated.
During the trial, it was revealed that the smaller of the two boys, who was known to carry a machete with a 42.5cm-long blade, shoulder-barged Shawn before brutally attacking him with the weapon. The pair, who are believed to be the youngest convicted murderers in Britain since the notorious case of Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, were also found guilty of the unlawful possession of the machete. They are now facing sentencing next month.
The severity of this case has sparked a debate about whether the boys should be named and shamed. Former top police officers have spoken out, with some believing that it could serve as a deterrent for other young people, while others argue that it would expose the "feral" nature of the boys. In a chilling photo released by the police, one of the boys can be seen posing with the machete just hours before the murder took place.
In the aftermath of the murder, the same boy was given a lift home by a family member, bleached the machete, and hid it under his bed. In social media exchanges, he callously referred to the stabbing as "it is what it is." Meanwhile, Shawn's grieving parents remember him as a hardworking and caring son, who had dreams of taking care of them in the future.
As his father tearfully shared, "I will remember him every day...I just want justice." His mother added, "He didn't deserve what happened." The family only hopes that the boys will receive a fair sentence, and justice will be served for their beloved son.
The senseless murder of Shawn Seesahai has left a community reeling and a family forever changed. The consequences of the actions of two 12-year-old boys have caused immeasurable pain and heartache. As the case comes to a close, all that is left is a deep sadness and a hope for justice to be served.
