Thank goodness there was no trial for the killers of 14-year-old Kelyan Bokassa, because the CCTV footage of his murder on the top deck of a London bus would have haunted the jurors for years.

I know the identities of the killers - who were jailed for a minimum of 15 years on July 25 - but I am forbidden by law from telling you their names, or showing you their faces.

In today’s Substack I examine this horrific murder in Woolwich, and the gangs behind it, and question whether the judge was right to allow them to keep their anonymity.
