Boy, 15, sentenced to at least 12 years for murder of Tomasz Oleszak in Gateshead

Judge says Leighton Amies shouted ‘triumphantly’ after stabbing ‘kind and loving’ 14-year-old

A 15-year-old boy who “triumphantly” bragged about stabbing a “kind and loving” teenager to death must serve at least 12 years behind bars for his murder.

Mr Justice Martin Spencer appeared to be choked with emotion when addressing the mother of murdered Tomasz Oleszak, 14, a “beautiful boy” who was killed by knife fanatic Leighton Amies in a Gateshead park in October.
