Boy, 14, cried ‘I want my mum' as he was knifed 27 times on bus on way home from school – as smiling teen killers jailed
BUS MURDER Boy, 14, cried 'I want my mum' as he was knifed 27 times on bus on way home from school – as smiling teen killers jailed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BOY cried "I want my mum" as he was stabbed 27 times on the bus on his way home from school by two smiling teen killers. Kelyan Bokassa suffered a fatal blow to his leg after he was attacked with a machete in Woolwich, South East London. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Kelyan Bokassa, 14, was killed as he made his way home from school Credit: PA 3 Two teens have now pleaded guilty to murder Credit: Peter Jordan Two boys aged 15 and 16, who cannot legally be named, were today locked up for life after they admitted murder. The killers, who both have previous convictions for carrying blades in public, will serve at least 15 years and 10 months before being eligible for parole. The court previously heard how Kelyan was attacked on the Route 472 bus on January 7. Prosecutor Deanna Heer KC said the teen killers had boarded the vehicle armed with identical machetes hidden in their clothes. The pair walked towards Kelyan "with purpose" and withdrew their blades before immediately stabbing him without uttering a word to their victim. Ms Heer said: "Since Kelyan Bokassa was seated on the back seat, he was cornered, unable to escape as the defendants repeatedly thrust their knives towards him, smiling as they did so." The attack lasted around 14 seconds - with the killers thrusting the machetes towards Kelyan 27 times. Passengers heard terrified Kelyan screaming "Help. Help. I've been stabbed" as one of the blows severed his femoral artery. He managed to stumble down the stairs, where he begged: "Take me to my mum's. I want my mum". Sadly, Arsenal mad Kelyan couldn't be saved and died shortly after medics arrived. One of the machetes was discarded in the River Thames but was later recovered. Kelyan's mum previously claimed the teen was groomed by gangs from the age of six. Mary, 50, told how she would find him on park benches at night and beg him to come home after he was taken into care four years ago. On her unsuccessful legal battle to get him back, she told The Sun on Sunday: 'I tried to prevent it. I screamed. I said, 'My son is going to be killed'.' In a victim impact statement, she told how her son is now at peace while his killers are "going to have a really tough time". Mary added: "I ask myself what has happened to those two boys that has resulted in that terrible act of violence, and I cannot imagine how can they be so angry. "What they did was horrific and I do not know what has led them to do this, and maybe I will never."

Parents of twins & bro, 8 & 10, held captive in nappies in Spanish ‘House of Horrors' since Covid face 25 years in jail
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE parents of three children who were allegedly trapped in a hellish "House of Horrors" since the Covid pandemic face 25 years in prison. The three boys were found by cops after parents Christian Steffen, 53, and his wife Melissa Ann Steffen, 48, were arrested on suspicion of child abuse. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 The parents of three children held in a 'house of horrors' face 25 years in jail Credit: Solarpix 7 German-born Christian Steffen, 53 faces the charges along with his wife Melissa Ann Steffen, 48 Credit: Solarpix 7 The house was full of rubbish and pet excrement Credit: Solarpix The young German boys, two eight-year-old twins and one 10-year-old, were said to have been found in horrific conditions at the property in Spain. Each of them had allegedly been forced to wear three face masks and wear nappies - and made to sleep in caged beds, a source close to the investigation revealed. Pictures from inside the house in Oviedo showed the boys' bed frames covered in horrifying drawings while they were trapped inside blacked out rooms devoid of any sunlight. But despite the piles of rubbish and excrement inside the house it is thought that the two parents were terrified of germs getting into their home. Referring to the parents, the public prosecutor's office said it "seeks convictions for each of them totalling 25 years and 4 months in prison, among other penalties and measures". They are accused of habitual psychological violence and unlawful detention after allegedly keeping their children locked up from December 2021 to April 2025. The prosecutor confirmed speculation that the children were "locked up due to an unfounded fear of contracting some disease" at the home in the small Asturian town of Fitoria. Authorities also demanded that the parents be barred from ever contacting their children ever again, as well as pay a £13,000 fine. The parents have also reportedly recently filed an appeal against their pre-trial detention - but it was rejected, La Voz de Asturias reported. It was previously revealed that the youngsters were only saved thanks to a university professor's secret diary. Connecticut woman who allegedly held stepson captive for over 20 years pleads not guilty The female neighbour, called Silvia, handed cops a 'forensic detective' diary made up of a series of data which showed kids were being held at the Steffen's home. German-born Christian was registered as the only resident in the affluent home after he started to rent the property in October 2021. Silvia, who lives just 65ft away from the home, first jotted down claims that she witnessed a little girl playing in the garden. This later evolved into a slew of evidence as Silvia continued to note what she saw going on in the home. They included details of the days and times the curtains on the second floor moved and even when the blinds were opened or lowered. Notes even kept tabs on every occasion the man believed to be Christian left the house to meet delivery drivers or collected food deliveries. She said she never saw a child leave the home or playing around in the time since making the diary. Her suspicions continued to grow after she saw the amount and size of supermarket deliveries which the homeowner was receiving. 7 The children were allegedly forced to wear nappies and sleep in caged beds Credit: Solarpix 7 The boys were saved after four years in captivity Despite only one person appearing to live in the house, Silvia noted that there was enough food and drink to feed a whole family each time. At one point, Silvia even claims she started to hear children's voices coming from across the street. After collecting the detailed dossier, the professor handed her notes over to the cops on April 14. They started to investigate the serious accusations and soon discovered nappies were being purchased. This sparked a major search inside the property so police could see what was going on inside shortly before Spain's historic blackout. Police would go on to thank Silvia for noticing the peculiar shopping list as they labelled the spot as the key clue which helped them arrest the parents. A city hall source told respected Spanish daily El Mundo: 'The neighbour had collected evidence that during school hours no-one left the house and expressed with certainty there had to be children living there, and even claimed to have seen them. 'The shopping list was the clue that set it all off. 'It was the list of a family, not a single person, and there was something that didn't fit at all which was the striking amount of nappies.' The source added: 'Without that neighbour, the children would almost certainly have gone undetected in that house for many more years." It was also revealed that many of the neighbours didn't even realise that the house was being lived in at all due to how secretive the dad had been. 7 A skull and cross bones drawn on the bed by one of the children Credit: Spanish Police 7 The family's house in Oviedo, northern Spain Since the arrests, cops have spoken out about the horrors inside the home as well as the treatment of the young children. Police who raided the property told local press the youngsters were made to wear nappies and told when and how many times they could use the toilet. The three boys were reportedly told they could only lower the blinds in their bedrooms at 5.10pm each day after being allowed to raise them exactly halfway up the windows during daylight hours. Prosecutors say filthy diapers were even piled up in one of the bedrooms. A shocking paediatric report on the kids later identified they were suffering from 'severe constipation', El Español reports. This is reportedly due to them only being allowed to go to the toilet at specific times. An unnamed investigator Spanish media quoted said: 'The children's parents claimed the youngsters didn't know how to control their bowel movements but the paediatric report has shown that to be false.' Police say once the children were freed one of them knelt down on the grass and 'touched it with amazement'. Oviedo Police Chief Inspector Francisco Javier Lozano said: 'We have given three children back their lives.' German freelance tech recruiter Christian and his US-born wife are both now facing 25 years and four months behind bars if found guilty. They are currently being investigated on suspicion of domestic violence, psychological mistreatment and child abandonment.
