Two youths have been sentenced to life in jail for murdering a 15-year-old schoolboy in Peckham.

Mohammed Sannoh, 19, from Peckham, and Abdi Omar Noor, 22, from Camberwell, where found guilty yesterday for shooting Michael Dosunmu dead in February 2007.

They will serve a minimum of 30 years in prison.

Mistaken identity

The pair had intended to kill Dosunmu's older brother Hakeem who they believed stabbed to death Mr Sanoh's friend Javarie Crighton.

Dosummu was blasted four times, once in the heart, with a Mac-10 sub-machine gun when the pair burst into his home and sprayed his bed with bullets as he slept.

Premeditated

Judge Stephen Kramer told the guilty pair:

"This was a planned and premeditated killing. It was an execution. You both, quite probably acting with another person or others, carried out this killing in an act of revenge. It was a death that could only invoke in all right-minded people feelings of outrage, shock and sympathy for Michael's family."
