Seven teenagers have been sentenced for killing a 16-year-old schoolboy who was stabbed in a south-east London park.
Nicholas Pearton, of Sydenham, was chased, beaten and stabbed in Home Park Recreation Ground in Sydenham last May.
Three youths, two aged 17 and one 16, were detained for up to 15 years after being convicted of murder.
Four other males, one 18-year-old, two 17 and one 16, who were convicted of manslaughter, were detained for between seven and 10 years.
During the trial, the court heard Nicholas had become caught up in a fight between two gangs following a row at school earlier in the day.
Following the attack, he ran into a chicken takeaway shop where he collapsed and died.
