Two teenagers have been given life sentences for the murder of a schoolboy in west London, in March, last year.
They had been part of a gang which chased 16-year-old Kodjo Yenga shouting "kill him, kill him". Kodjo was left dying in his girlfriend's arms after being stabbed in the heart in Hammersmith, west London, in March, last year.
Judge Christopher Moss ordered that Tirrell Davis, 17, and Brandon Richmond, 14, should be detained during Her Majesty's Pleasure.
He told the Old Bailey they should serve a minimum term of 15 years. Three other youths, Yemoh Kurtis, 17, Jamel Bridgeman and Michel Williams, both 15, were given ten years' detention with five years on extended licence after their release.
