Kelyan Bokassa's mother: 'Our children are being buried before their parents'

Two teenagers have been sentenced to at least 15 years for the machete murder of 14-year-old Kelyan Bokassa on a London bus.

Kelyan was killed on 7 January in Woolwich, southeast London, in what prosecutors said was a planned attack.

In a statement read outside the Old Bailey, Kelyan’s mother, Mary Bokassa, described herself as "a broken soul whose life changed forever the day my child’s life was taken from me by another child".
