Calls are mounting for two 12-yearolds found guilty of the brutal machete murder of a stranger to be identified when they are sentenced.
They hacked unarmed stranger Shawn Seesahai, 19, to death with a machete in playing fields in Wolverhampton in November last year.
On Monday, they became the youngest to be convicted of murder since Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, both aged 11, were found guilty in 1993 of killing toddler James Bulger in Liverpool.
Julie Taylor, whose grandson Liam was stabbed to death by a gang of thugs, is among those wanting a change in the law to remove anonymity for anyone under 18 who deliberately kills.
Mrs Taylor said: "When I heard about 12-yearolds murdering someone it had me in tears. But they should be named.
"There should be a change in the law so that anyone convicted of murder, including children, is named. There should be no hiding or anonymity.
