…By Henry George for TDPel Media.

The attack, which occurred in Wolverhampton last year, was a case of mistaken identity as Ronan was not the intended victim.

The Tragic Coincidence

Motive and Escape

After a five-week trial, both teenagers were convicted by a jury.

Ronan’s mother, Pooja Kanda, expressed her profound grief and stated that she had no desire to live anymore since her son was taken from her.

After committing the murder, they disposed of the weapons and clothing.

However, the judge emphasized that both defendants were responsible for the joint enterprise of the murder.

He condemned the ease with which such weapons could be purchased online and described the attack as a cowardly act stemming from a trivial dispute over money.

He criticized the defendants for their lack of humanity in fleeing the scene and leaving Ronan to die.
