  as shocked and upset as i am ,the boys in custody are children.to label them as 'murderers' is just not fair .only one boy punched the victim and he ,like all of us is probably just as shocked and horrified at the out come of his actions.The police still have not examined the cctv footage nearly 2 days after this terrible tragedy .no one expects a punch to kill ,this was not a premeditated attack ,if so it would be murder, i think it was more like a freak accident and because of this the term manslaughter should be used instead.yes a lovely family have lost a son and brother , but 2 or 3 other families could also loose their sons .do you think custodial sentences would actually do these young boys any good?,as i do not,these young boys have never been in trouble before, sending them to a young offenders centre that is full of repeat offenders, this would ruin the lives of them for sure not to mention their families . i think the punishment that they receive should be thought about very very carefully,one life lost is enough ,sending these young lads away would loose their lives to and the rest of th

  i could not agree more with this, what has happened is horrific bit surely not intended. I feel so much for the family and friends of this poor young man but some on here are passing sentence on others before the facts are examined or the circumstanes known, innocent until proven guilty is maximum we should all remember, if guilty they deserve punishment befitting the crime and the circumstances that the court considers but the hanging, flogging of children being advocated on here is worthy of the third world not 21st century uk finaaly my thoughts again go out to this young man's family"
