The killer of 12-year-old schoolboy Leo Ross has been named.
A court order protecting his anonymity was lifted after he pleaded guilty to murder last month.
Kian Moulton, who was 14 at the time of the attack, stabbed Leo in the stomach while he was heading home from school in Birmingham in January 2025.
Moulton, now aged 15, was sentenced to a minimum term of 13 years at Birmingham Crown Court on Monday.
He also admitted a string of offences after he attacked three elderly women in the days leading up to the killing, with two of them suffering severe injuries.
Birmingham Crown Court heard the defendant was “a young man with formidable health problems” but was aware of the consequences of his actions.
Judge Mr Justice Choudhury KC said Moulton chose Leo because he was smaller than him.
After the attack, the teenager had cycled around Trittiford Mill Park telling people a boy had been stabbed, the judge added.
He said Moulton appeared to get “pleasure from seeing the consequences” of his actions.
