THE teenagers who murdered Olly Stephens are set to learn their fates at a court hearing in September.

Following the guilty verdict returned by the jury on Monday, July 26, Judge Heather Norton adjourned the case for sentencing later this year.

The boys, both 14, will appear again at Reading Crown Court alongside the girl, also 14, who ‘lured’ Olly to Bugs Bottom where he was fatally ambushed by the two boys in January 2021.

According to gov.uk, convicts under 18 get different prison sentences to adults.

For violent crimes, young people can get an extended sentence and be placed under supervision for a long time upon release.

In murder cases, the court sets a minimum amount of time for the criminal to be spent in custody.

The young person can not apply for parole before this time.

When released, the convict will be kept under supervision for the rest of their life.

Sometimes, the sentence for a young person can last as long as the sentence for an adult, but not longer.

This includes life sentences.
