Mrs. Bokassa, his son’s 15th birthday on the edge of the grave, he added.

Orum I ask myself what happened to the two children who have resulted in this terrible act of violence, and I can’t imagine how it can be so angry, ”he said.

“What they did was terrible, and I don’t know what caused them to do it, and maybe I will never.”

Judge Mark Lucraft KC, who punished the couple, said to the court: “It is a tragedy that any parent’s losing a child. No court’s punishment can really reflect the loss of a young life.”

The court said that young people were told that Kyanan was on the bus before riding.

The members of the people cried out loud and the images of the attack on Kyanan were shown in court, and the defendants did not react visible on the dock.

Prosecutor Deanna Heer Kc said Kelyan rides 472 buses after 14:00 to participate in the appointment at the Youth Justice Center in Woolwich.

CCTV images showed that he went to sit on the back seat on the upper deck. At that time, his pants had a small kitchen knife on his belt.

The defendants, who could not be named for legal reasons, boarded the bus after 20 minutes, each of them was armed with the same machete hidden in their clothes.

The couple walked to Kyanan for “purpose” and pushed him 27 times without talking to his victims without talking to a word. The attack took 14 seconds.

Heer said: “Kelyan did not have time to reach his own knife in Bokassa’s pants, and instead he tried to protect himself with a school bag.

“There were a few passengers on the upper deck, when they noticed what happened.

The bus driver activated the emergency alarm just before 14: 27 and the defendants fled when the vehicle stopped at Woolwich Ferry.

CCTV showed that Kelyan was stumbled on the stairs, where another passenger went to help him.

He heard he said, “Take me to my mother. I want my mother.”

The members of the people marked a police car passing and found that the officers had collapsed Kyanan and that his body was lacking. Despite his attempts to save him, Kelyan died at the scene at 15:23.

One of the Palas was thrown on the Thames River, but later healed.

The defendants were arrested on January 15 after a human hunting by Met police officers and accused the next day.

Kelyan was careful and Kent had spent time at a child’s house in the Agreement.

Samantha Yelland, a crown prosecutor’s office, said that the “violent attack of young people on Kyanan left him with” chances of survival “.

“I hope that the CCTV evidence of the defendants on the bus found them guilty by finding very few options:” I hope the sentences provide comfort to Kelyan’s friends and family. “
