Life terms for schoolboy's killers

Michael Dosunmu, 15, died after being sprayed with bullets from a Mac-10 sub-machine gun as he lay under his duvet.
His killers, Mohammed Sannoh and Abdi Omar Noor, mistook him for his older brother, Hakeem, who shared his bedroom at the family home in Peckham, south London.
Michael was hit by four bullets, one of them fatally piercing his heart, in the early hours of February 6 last year.
Sannoh, 19, of Peckham, and Noor, 22, of Camberwell, showed no emotion as they were both jailed for life at the Old Bailey.
Judge Stephen Kramer told them: "This was a planned and premeditated killing. It was an execution.
"You both, quite probably acting with another person or others, carried out this killing in an act of revenge.
"Your target was Michael's older brother, Hakeem. Mistakenly and tragically Michael was killed. It was a death that could only invoke in all right-minded people feelings of outrage, shock and sympathy for Michael's family."
The gunmen were taking part in a revenge attack following the murder of another man a few days earlier.
Mr Laidlaw said Hakeem had been involved in drug dealing and three robberies from security firms.
