Two teenagers sentenced to at least 15 years for machete murder of boy, 14, on London bus
Kelyan was killed on 7 January in Woolwich, southeast, London, in what prosecutors said was a planned attack.
The defendants, now 16, who are too young to be named, stabbed him 27 times with machetes.
They pleaded guilty in May, with one appearing to change his plea at the last moment.
Both also admitted possessing an offensive weapon.
Prosecutor Tom Little KC previously told the Old Bailey that Kelyan was attacked "almost instantaneously" by the boys on the top deck.
The attack happened in the middle of the afternoon in Woolwich Church Street.
Kelyan suffered a severed femoral artery and died shortly after medics arrived.
Speaking after his death, his mother Mary Bokassa said he had been groomed by gangs from the age of six, and she was not surprised when she found out he was dead.
Ms Bokassa said the pair had spent Christmas together, after he was previously in care for several years, but she was concerned he still had "one foot in the streets".
She said she had tried to stop him associating with gangs but did not get support from authorities.
One of the machetes used in the attack was thrown in the River Thames but later recovered.

Dramatic moment knife-wielding car thief taken down by police is caught on camera
Harrowing footage has captured the moment a car thief slashed a police officer with a box knife before setting his car alight following a high-speed chase. Diesel Jackson, 25, punched two police officers, wielding a box knife, at a home in Frankston, in Melbourne 's south-east, on the evening of March 22, 2024. The officers, a man and woman, were responding to reports of a man at the property with a stolen white Jeep Grand Cherokee. When they arrived, Jackson waved a box knife and slashed one of the officers before fleeing in the stolen vehicle. Bodycam footage released by a judge to Seven News on Friday showed the male officer breaking away from the tussle and pointing a gun at the knife-wielding man. 'Put it down... Put the f***ing knife down!' he said. During the altercation, the female officer pleaded with the male officer to let Jackson go, having found herself 'trapped' alone in the room with the armed man. 'No, no, let him go, let him get out.... I'm trapped!' she said. During the altercation, neither of the officers were equipped with tasers but one of them used capsicum spray against the enraged Jackson, although it had little effect. 'Let him go, not worth it,' the female officer said as her police partner stepped out of the way to allow Jackson to go downstairs, before taking off in the stolen Jeep. Outside, the pair watched as Jackson drove off, only for him to come back and speed up as he approached them on the pavement. 'Watch out, he's going to ram us!' the female officer yelled, before ordering her partner to 'Get out of the way!' Aerial footage captured the high-speed chase through south-east Melbourne during which Jackson reportedly reached speeds approaching 170km/h. Manoeuvring through dense, oncoming traffic, the Jeep could be seen mounting kerbs and median strips before he sped over police-deployed stop sticks. The pursuit ended when Jackson lost control of the vehicle, spinning out on Cranbourne Road. He then set fire to the stolen vehicle before fleeing on foot but was apprehended nearby. The incident, which left both officers hospitalised, has renewed calls for the Victorian Government to fast-track its plan to equip all front-line officers with tasers. First proposed by the former Andrews Labor Government, the state has earmarked $214million towards funding the rollout of upgraded Axon tasers by September 2026. Chief executive of the Police Association Victoria Wayne Gatt said tasers would 'definitely have helped in the situation'. The 25-year-old Jackson was charged with 28 offences including assaulting emergency worker whilst on duty, intentionally causing injury, recklessly causing injury and theft of motor vehicle. He was convicted of eight offences and three summary offences and sentenced to six years imprisonment with four years non-parole.

Defence granted adjournment in Molly Ticehurst murder case, 16 months after NSW woman's death
Prosecutors have been told to speak to the bereaved family of Molly Ticehurst, as the case against the man accused of her domestic violence murder drags on 16 months after her death. Daniel Billings, 30, is charged with murdering Ticehurst at her home in Forbes, central western NSW, in the early hours of April 22, 2024. Billings is yet to enter a plea. During a brief mention in Parkes local court on Friday morning, Billings' Legal Aid solicitor Diane Elston asked for the case to be adjourned, saying negotiations between the lawyers were continuing. There would still be 'some work to do' after the prosecution and defence teams meet later in August, she said. Magistrate Brett Thomas agreed to a seven-week adjournment, finding it was in the interests of 'members of the community, the family of the victim, the defendant and the Crown'. But he acknowledged the delay for Ticehurst's family, who have attended each of Billings' court dates. Prosecutors should 'be in contact with them today and just explain the situation to them,' Thomas said. Deputy senior crown prosecutor Lee Carr SC, appearing from Sydney, agreed. 'That can be accommodated easily,' he said. Billings, Ticehurst's former boyfriend, had been freed on bail by a local court registrar a fortnight before the alleged murder on charges including three counts of sexual intercourse without consent against her. Billings was also charged with four counts of stalking and intimidating her, destroying her property and aggravated animal cruelty against her 12-week-old dachshund puppy in 2023. Four more serious charges, including one count of aggravated sexual assault, were laid in December 2024. Legal documents before the court accused Billings of threatening to cause Ticehurst further physical harm during the alleged aggravated sexual assault. He is facing a total of 17 charges, including breaching an AVO that was in place to protect Ticehurst. Following Ticehurst's death changes were made to NSW laws including stripping registrars of the power to grant bail and 'show cause' thresholds for domestic violence-related bail applications. A specific bail division of the local court was also created in July, ensuring bail applications can be dealt with more quickly in virtual courtrooms. Billings' case returns to court on October 3.

TikTok migrant who gave a step-by-step guide on how to cross the Channel 'filmed a how to kill your wife rant weeks before boarding small boat to Britain'
A TikTok migrant who shared a 'step-by-step guide' on how to cross the Channel 'filmed a how to kill your wife rant weeks before boarding a small boat to Britain'. Parwiz Hanifyar, known online as Alexandra420, shared videos of his journey on TikTok and gained nearly one million views as he boasted about entering the UK illegally. Mr Hanifyar, who left Calais at around 4am on Saturday, even shared videos of himself on the small boat before live streaming in an asylum hotel. There, he told followers he was in 'the best place' while broadcasting from his free accommodation near Heathrow Airport. Now, it has been alleged that the TikTok migrant was reported to police for telling men how to kill their estranged wives in a social media clip filmed just weeks before he crossed the Channel, the Sun has reported. Speaking to his 70,000 followers from Germany, the Afghan, aged in his 20s, is said to have urged viewers to drink alcohol before attacking the women in a deliberate bid to get a softer sentence. In a disturbing clip in which he told viewers they 'must do this technique' using a household item, he said: 'Before I kill her, I drink a bottle of alcohol. 'When the police comes, they say, he was drunk.' Now, it has been alleged that the TikTok migrant (pictured) was reported to police for telling men how to kill their estranged wives in a social media clip filmed just weeks before he crossed the Channel, the Sun has reported Popular TikTok influencer Lemar is said to have been one of several individuals who reported the disturbing posts to the German authorities. However, Mr Hanifyar, who reportedly lived in Berlin for three years, then went on to relocate to France and later travelled to the UK. In response to the shocking video, Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp described the language used by the migrant as 'sickening'. Adding that Mr Hanifyar posed a threat to the UK, Mr Philp demanded that he be arrested and deported as a matter of urgency. Mr Hanifyar first sparked outrage after sharing a video of himself grinning in an orange jacket and pointing to the sky. He then showed the boat as it was surrounded by huge freight ships, set to the theme tune of US drama Prison Break. The migrant was one of more than 400 arrivals on Saturday and was taken in by Border Force officials to be processed in Kent. He was then taken to the four-star Crowne Plaza Hotel near Heathrow, where he started live streaming to his followers. In the live stream, he gave viewers a tour of his room, with two single beds and an en suite bathroom. He said: 'This is dedicated to those haters who were happy thinking we either drowned or ended up dead.' Mr Hanifyar later claimed the boat he illegally travelled on began to deflate halfway through the journey and would have sank if Border Force officials had not rescued them. He said: 'It was dangerous. Our boat sank. It was punctured. The water came from the inside of the boat. 'On the other side, three people pumped the water. If the British boats hadn't come in an hour, we would have been in trouble.' Despite nearly facing serious danger, he encouraged others to pay the people-smugglers to risk the dangerous crossing. He said: 'I risked my life, I spent my money, I came. Your country is not your mother. 'Those who want to come, this is the best place. Don't be stingy. Your country is not your father, that you are so stingy. Live your life. 'Tell your four friends to come. Why are you so stingy? Being stingy is not good for God. You see, I risked my life! Why don't you come? My wish was to come to this hotel and live. I came here just for this.' It comes just days after a record 107 small boat migrants reached Britain in just one dingy, confounding Labour's pledge to 'smash the gangs'. Images from the port of Dover showed human traffickers have begun to deploy a new, longer type of inflatable. The dinghy - which can barely be described as a 'small boat' - was recovered in the Channel and taken to Dover, where it was being examined by Border Force and law enforcement, GB News reported. It brought 107 migrants to Britain overnight, smashing the previous record of 96 people aboard one inflatable. Meanwhile, the number of small-boat migrants reaching Britain under Labour passed 50,000. Keir Starmer has been slammed for 'incompetence' over the handling of the Channel crisis, with the soaring figure a clear indication of the lack of a plan since he axed the Tories' Rwanda deportation scheme on his first day in power. Former Labour home secretary Jacqui Smith blamed the Tories, claiming: 'What is happening is the result of the last government.' Pictured: A group of people thought to be migrants are brought in to the Border Force compound in Dover, Kent, from a Border Force vessel following a small boat incident in the Channel on August 12 The Government's 'returns deal' with France appears to have done little to deter those determined to get to Britain, with the latest total including more than 1,500 arrivals in the seven days since the 'one in, one out' scheme launched. Pictured: migrants cross the Channel on August 6, 2024 In response, Reform Leader Nigel Farage criticised the Prime Minister on social media. He wrote: 'As I predicted five years ago, unless we deport illegal migrants the invasion will be huge. 50,000 since our weak Prime Minister took office and there is no sign of it stopping.' The Government's 'returns deal' with France appears to have done little to deter those determined to get to Britain, with the latest total including more than 1,500 arrivals in the seven days since the 'one in, one out' scheme launched. Official figures revealed there were 474 arrivals on Monday alone, bringing the total since the general election on July 4 last year to 50,271, despite the Prime Minister's promise to 'smash the gangs' behind the trafficking trade. The milestone was passed seven months earlier than under his Conservative predecessor, Rishi Sunak. Baroness Smith – who is now an education, women and equalities minister under Sir Keir – said: 'It is a completely legitimate claim to say that what is happening is the result of the last government that chose to focus on gimmicks with the Rwanda scheme.' Labour scrapped the Tories' Rwanda asylum deal – designed to deter migrants from crossing – as one of its first acts, pledging instead to 'smash the gangs' by boosting law enforcement. However, small boat numbers are soaring, with 27,029 arrivals this year, up by 47 per cent on the same point last year and 67 per cent on the same point in 2023. Since the start of the crisis in 2018, 178,167 migrants have reached Britain, with only about four per cent of them removed. The Home Office told The Sun that it does not comment on individual cases. In a previous statement issued regarding Mr Hanifyar, a Home Office spokesperson said: 'It is our long-standing policy not to comment on individual cases, but we have made clear that it is unacceptable for any individual, whether they are a member of a smuggling gang or otherwise, to promote the criminal services of people-traffickers or for social media companies to allow it. 'We are introducing specific laws through our Border Security Bill that will make it easier to prosecute individuals who publish material online which promotes or offers services facilitating small boat crossings, and these kinds of cases show why it is so essential for that Bill to be passed through Parliament at the earliest opportunity.' A TikTok spokesperson previously said: 'We take a zero-tolerance approach to content promoting human smuggling, this account has been banned and we remove the vast majority of content before it is even reported. 'Through industry-leading search interventions and close collaboration with the UK National Crime Agency, we work to identify and disrupt organised immigration crime online, adapting our efforts to meet evolving threats.'
