The Attorney General's office is reviewing the sentences given to the two boys who murdered
00:06
19-year-old Sean Ceeserhigh in Wolverhampton last November.
00:10
Concerns have been raised that the minimum term of 8 years issued last week is too lenient.
00:16
The pair were found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 8 years,
00:21
meaning they will remain unlicensed for life.
00:24
They are the youngest convicted murderers since the infamous Bulger case in 1993.
00:30
The review comes after a request was submitted under the unduly lenient sentence scheme.
00:35
This scheme allows anyone to ask the Attorney General to review sentences given in Crown
00:40
Court cases.
00:42
Sean Ceeserhigh had recently moved to the UK from Anguilla to undergo eye surgery.
00:47
His family, who had used their life savings to repatriate his body and attend the trial,
00:52
were unable to travel to the UK for sentencing, instead following it via video link.
