15 years is not enough
Kieron Smith, aged eighteen, was today convicted of killing Lauren Pilkington-Smith aged ten, in Leigh, Greater Manchester, on 7 July last year.
He was a friend and had been playing with her all afternoon, and then he battered her to death. Lauren's body was found by her grandfather, hidden under leaves. She had suffered severe head injuries. Her blood on his shoes that he could not explain, convicted him.
He was sentenced to a minimum of fifteen years in jail. This is an inadequate sentence. So he could be out aged thirty-three, with a new identity.
Ten year old Lauren will get no second chance.
Neither should he.
He should be executed for this crime, or at least NEVER released from jail.

At least it wasn't a pissy 5 year sentence. I suppose that's something.
My hope is that at 18, I guess it would be an adult prison? He may not make it out
