A 15-year-old boy who had a 'worrying interest in knives' has been jailed for life - with a minimum of 13 years behind bars - for stabbing another teenager to death on the way home from school. Bardia Shojaeifard was named for the first time today by a judge shortly before he was sentenced for the murder of Alfie Lewis, also 15. Alfie was stabbed to death in front of pupils leaving a primary school in the Horsforth area of Leeds last November.
The attacker later ran off and left the knife near the scene, and was arrested at his home about an hour later. Detectives believe Shojaeifard had been carrying the kitchen knife all day, and had intended to seek Alfie at home time. Leeds Crown Court had heard that there had been two previous incidents involving both boys - including one last July that saw Alfie intervene in a fight Shojaeifard was having with another boy.
