crime reporter,LONDON(weastar  times/Ebc/WP):::

Two teenagers have been given life terms for the murder of a schoolboy.

Kwame Ofosu-Asare, 17, was stabbed while he was walking through the Moorlands Estate in Brixton, south London, in March.
The Old Bailey heard two youths involved in a "poisonous and senseless" gang war had mistaken him for one of their enemies.
Nelson Idiabeta, 18, and Nathaniel Okusanya, 19, were convicted of murder following a trial.
'Poisonous feud'
Judge Richard Marks ordered Idiabeta, of no fixed address, should serve a minimum term of 19 years and Okusanya, from Lambeth, must serve 20 years.
Kwame, from Catford in south-east London, was stabbed repeatedly in the back and received a total of 14 wounds while walking in Adelaide Close with a friend.
Judge Marks said: "It was Kwame's misfortune to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

"Neither of you has shown one iota of remorse for what you did."
Crispin Aylett QC, prosecuting, told jurors: "Kwame's death was but a part of a poisonous and senseless feud between two rival gangs of youths in south London."
He said Kwame was not a member of either gang. He had been to a recording studio in the area.
Kwame's father Kwaku, a sports journalist, told the court in a statement his son was full of potential.
He was in the sixth form of Forest Hill School and excelled in sport, music and acting and had great ambitions to make something of his life, he said.
Mr Ofosu-Asare said: "Kwame was a very vibrant, energetic and enthusiastic boy.
"His brother and sister are struggling to cope with his death. All our lives have been ruined."

Neville Dunn murderer Brian Harrison's appeal dismissed-death penelty active under new danger crime - death law

crime reporter,cormwell(weastar times/Ebc/WP):::

A man jailed for killing a man who died two years after he attacked him has lost an appeal against his conviction.

Brian Harrison, 31, was jailed for life in March for murdering Neville Dunn and told he would serve at least 16 years.
Harrison, from Cornwall, had been jailed for causing grievous bodily harm but was tried for murder after Mr Dunn, who was attacked in 2007, died in 2009.
It was only the second time in England someone had been tried for murder after being convicted of a lesser offence.
The murder trial heard Harrison, from Newlyn, kicked 42-year-old Mr Dunn's head "like a footballer", during the attack on 31 December 2007.
'Terrible ordeal'
He had pleaded self-defence and was cleared of attempted murder in 2008 but convicted of intentionally causing grievous bodily harm and sentenced to a minimum of six years in jail.
After Mr Dunn died in October 2009, Harrison was later tried and convicted of murder following the Law Reform Act of 1996 which abolished the "year and a day rule".
This stated that a death was not murder if it occurred more than a year and a day after the act alleged to have caused it.
After the Court of Appeal dismissed his case, Det Con Gail Windsor, of Devon and Cornwall Police, said: "The assault on Mr Dunn was a violent and premeditated crime and it is clear that his death was a direct result of the injuries sustained in the attack."
In March, Truro Crown Court was told Harrison carried out the attack because he wrongly believed Mr Dunn had raped his partner.
Det Con Windsor said: "For the past five years, Mr Dunn's family has suffered a terrible ordeal but the dismissal of this appeal will hopefully finally provide closure and help them move on with their lives."

Some cash was later found, stained with dye from a security pack within the money which had been activated.
The raid, a week ago, took place at a NatWest branch in Bolton Road, Irlams o' th' Height.
Police said a quantity of the cash had been found behind Bolton Road, at the junction of Irlam Square and Ellery Road, after the security dye pack had been activated.
