The boys, 14 and 15, both wept as they were sentenced at Manchester Crown Court
Nathaniel Shani sadly died after being stabbed to the neck in an alleyway in Harpurhey on September 15 2023. Two boys, Boy A, aged 15, and Boy B, aged 14, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were both found guilty of his murder following a trial at Manchester Crown Court earlier this year.
Nathaniel arrived in the square at about 6pm and met with Boy A and Boy B. During the ensuing confrontation Nathaniel punched Boy A, who produced a knife and stabbed him to the neck. “The pain of losing a child is impossible to describe, it is not something the family would wish anyone to experience. Every morning we open our eyes, it's like we lose Nathaniel again.
“Nathaniel was to celebrate his 15th birthday on Sept 25 - he was killed 10 days before. Never would we have imagined celebrating his birthday without him. Mr Shani said his son loved jokes and wanted to go on to be a comedian. “Having an empty room without him is not normal - we are failing to adjust," he said.
