Kian Moulton, aged 15, was sentenced to life with a minimum 13-year term for the murder of Leo Ross – his sentence is set to be considered by the Attorney General’s Office
A teenager who murdered a young school boy is set to have his 13-year minimum sentence considered by the Attorney General’s Office.
Kian Moulton, aged 15, was sentenced to life by High Court Judge Mr Justice Choudhury on Tuesday, as an order protecting his anonymity was ordered to be lifted.
The court was told “cowardly” Moulton murdered Leo Ross, aged 12, in a random knife attack in a country park after trying to drown an 82-year-old woman and attacking two other elderly victims in January last year.
The terms of the sentence handed to Moulton mean he may be eligible for release on life licence when he is aged 27. In a statement, a spokesperson for the Attorney General’s Office said: “I can confirm that we have received multiple requests for this sentence to be considered under the Unduly Lenient Sentence (ULS) scheme. The Law Officers have 28 days from sentencing to carefully consider the case and make a decision.”
