Summary
A 15-year-old boy was sentenced to life in prison for fatally stabbing a stranger, Muhammad Hassam Ali, after a brief conversation in Birmingham city center. The second boy, who stood by, was sentenced to five years in secure accommodation. Ali’s family expressed their grief, describing him as a budding engineer whose life was tragically cut short.
This isn’t a whole life sentence but I don’t know what the minimum before parole would be. 15 or 20 years maybe?
Edit: someone else noted 13 years
