Leroy Robinson was locked up in a young offenders unit while he stood trial for the murder of Joseph Riches... part of machete-wielding gang who slaughtered a schoolboy with an outsized machete... Mr Justice Wall told Coventry Crown Court that 16-year-old Robinson was at 'risk of exploitation' and appeared at 'physical risk' in detention... three others - Dray Simmonds, Joshua Edgington, and Corey Burkitt - were recently locked up for more than 72 years for killing Joseph in Stourbridge last year... Robinson - who is said to have 'complex' social, emotional and mental health needs - had previous convictions for robbery and theft... he had a 'troubled upbringing' and a 'less than ideal' time in foster care, Mr Justice Wall said... has ADHD, had previous convictions for possession of a machete in another town centre, wounding, robbery and battery.
Leroy's 'complex' social, emotional and mental health needs are no longer a problem.
