The family of a man killed by the UK's youngest knife murderers have said they are haunted by thoughts of his last moments and "how scared he must have been".

Shawn Seesahai, 19, was waiting with a friend on playing fields in Wolverhampton last November when he was killed by two boys, then aged 12, wielding a machete. The boys, who are now 13, were found guilty of murder after a 20-day trial in June and are due to be sentenced today.

Michelle Heeley KC, prosecuting, told the court yesterday that the boys were the youngest knife murderers and there was little precedent for what sentence they should receive.

Seesahai was from Anguilla, a British overseas territory in the Caribbean, and had travelled to the UK for medical treatment not long before his death.

In a statement read to the court by Dorothea Hodge, the UK representative for Anguilla, his family said they were "struggling in so many ways" after his murder, which "appears to be for no reason at all".
