On 13 November 2023, 19-year-old Shawn Seesahai was attacked and killed by two 12-year-old boys during a confrontation in a park in Wolverhampton, England. The perpetrators were the youngest people to be convicted of murder in the United Kingdom since the murder of James Bulger in 1993, and the youngest to have been convicted of murder using a knife. The two boys, whose names the media were not permitted to publish due to their young age, were both sentenced, on 27 September 2024, to detention in a young offender institution at His Majesty's pleasure for a minimum term of eight years and six months.
