A 15-year-old boy who killed a suspected paedophile “to teach him a lesson” was given a life sentence today.

A 15-year-old boy who killed a suspected paedophile “to teach him a lesson” was given a life sentence today.

The teenager was told he must serve at least nine years behind bars for the murder of Robert Daley, 45.

A girl aged 15 – who said she had been abused by Mr Daley – was given a six-year sentence for his manslaughter.

The 45-year-old victim was stabbed five times in April at his flat in Brixton, south London, hours after a separate sex abuse case against him was dropped.

His killers, who were both 14 at the time, were convicted last month by an Old Bailey jury, each by a majority of 10-2.
