Leroy Robinson was locked up in a young offenders unit while he stood trial for the murder of Joseph Riches when he was stabbed while in detention
A baby-faced teen killer who was part of machete-wielding gang who slaughtered a schoolboy with an outsized machete was stabbed behind bars.
Leroy Robinson was locked up in a young offenders unit while he stood trial for the murder of Joseph Riches.
The stabbing incident was revealed as Robinson was sentenced for the 16-year-old's murder. Mr Justice Wall told Coventry Crown Court that 16-year-old Robinson was at 'risk of exploitation' and appeared at 'physical risk' in detention, Birmingham Live reports.
The convicted robber was stabbed while on remand during the trial, the judge told. Robinson and 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.
In court, details of their past were revealed. Robinson - who is said to have 'complex' social, emotional and mental health needs - had previous convictions for robbery and theft.
Simmonds - who delivered the fatal blow - had never committed any crimes before killing Joseph. But he had a 'troubled upbringing' and a 'less than ideal' time in foster care, Mr Justice Wall said.
He now has 'enhanced status' as a prisoner, which means he is entitled to extra privileges while locked up. Edgington, who has a 'supportive family', was said to have 'suffered greatly' when his dad died at the age of 14.
The defendant, who has ADHD, had previous convictions for possession of a machete in another town centre, wounding, robbery and battery.

Stabbed but is he dead? No details of the stabbing in jail. No details of if he is alive or dead. Bad reporting. Either way they should have given him death penalty anyways but note he’s dead so great
An “outsized” machette?
As opposed to an insized one.
From the article:
The stabbing incident was revealed as Robinson was sentenced [...]
I doubt that the court officers propped up a corpse for sentencing, so...

So what?
Plenty of highly functional, law-abiding citizens do.

A “two foot machete” = One Ax

Note to self: Stay out da JaSil
Leroy's 'complex' social, emotional and mental health needs are no longer a problem.
Terribly written article. Guess only the British can actually understand what it’s saying.
