A KNIFE-CRAZED boy of 12 made “gun” signs in online pictures before killing Shawn Seesahai with a machete.
The killer pretended to pull the trigger in the chilling snap.
Months later he murdered defenceless Shawn, 19, in an unprovoked attack in a park in Wolverhampton.
Locals added razor wire and CCTV cameras to their homes after he repeatedly ran amok.
One said: “He caused nothing but misery. He was a tearaway and like a more villainous Dennis the Menace.”
From tongue scraping to saying no, here are 12 health trends to try in 2023
Last week he and another 12-year-old boy were convicted of murder.
They will be sentenced next month.
Meanwhile, The Sun on Sunday can reveal shocking Ministry of Justice statistics that lay bare the soft treatment of offenders.
They show the proportion of convicted ten to 17-year-olds given custodial sentences for possessing a blade has fallen in the last five years, from 11 per cent to seven per cent.
Meanwhile, the proportion given community service orders has soared from 48 per cent in 2019 to 60 per cent — while the number of repeat offenders is up from 17 per cent to 22 per cent.
Retired cop Norman Brennan said: “Sadly we have a lost generation of children, and kids are out of control.”
