These teenagers stab a boy, then film him dying and post on Snapchat

 

Four boys stab another boy, as he lay there dying, they film and post on Social media. Well, three have been sentenced to 71 years in prison but that doesn’t stop people from comparing them to the UniAbuja friends who watched their rich friend drown and then proceed to share his property before abandoning the corpse to swell and  float in in the water.

Is it that life has made people more and more unemotional? The young people of this world, don’t they have human feelings? How are they able to derive pleasure from watching someone die in pain?

Read Metro’s reporting of the story below:

A group of teenagers who stabbed a boy to death then filmed as he lay dying on the ground have been jailed for a total of 71 years. Cemeren Yilmaz, 16, was murdered on the street in Bedford last September by three members of a rival gang and their cousin.

Jacob Morgan, 15, Ramon Djauna, 15, Caleb Brown, now 16, and Aaron Miller, 20, were sentenced yesterday for the ‘shocking’ and ‘brutal’ murder. The ‘Black Tom’ gang members were named in court for the first time in court as Judge Simon Bryan QC lifted an anonymity order protecting their identity due to the extreme nature of the attack.

The judge said the killing came out of ‘a sadly all too common backdrop of gang rivalry and associated carrying and use of weapons with tragic consequences and the loss of a young life’. On the day of his murder, Cemeren was chased down before being bludgeoned with a hammer and stabbed, before one of the boys filmed as he bled and posted the footage online. Cemeren died in hospital the following day, having suffered 50 separate injuries and massive internal damage.

The court heard the stab wound had travelled almost through his body, he had suffered a fractured skull and brain damage and had gone into cardiac arrest twice. During the trial at St Albans Crown Court earlier this year, the jury heard that Cemeren had told his brother just weeks before his death that he expected to be attacked by rival gang members because of the hostility between the two in Bedford. Cameron had told his brother if he was ‘caught’ by the other gang it would ‘end badly.’

 

MOMENTS BEFORE THE VICIOUS ATTACK:

He also said ‘people like this have no mercy’ and had expected to be the victim of a knife attack, the court heard. The judge said the attack on Cameren was launched by the four who considered he had brought shame on them that night. Cemeren was once associated with the Black Tom gang but after a fallout with some of its members switched allegiance to the rival ‘London Road’ gang.

Moments later, the court heard, Cemeren was seen again on CCTV running away and clutching a bag. The prosecutor said it was this that may have motivated Morgan and his co-defendants ‘to exact revenge’. Shortly after 10pm that night, Miller – who was then aged 19 – arrived in Ashmead Road having been phoned by Morgan.

Cemeren, having made off earlier, was back on the street and, after exchanging punches with Miller, was chased down. When he fell to the ground he was kicked, punched and then stabbed. Cemeren managed to get up and run off but was caught by the other two 15 year olds, Djauna and Brown – who is now 16. They had brought a hammer to the scene and battered Cemeren in the head and face.

The jury heard it was then that one of the teenagers, Djauna, started filming using Snapchat. Part of the video was played at the trial and, at one point, the victim was heard saying ‘I am going to die’ followed by the sounds of him groaning.

Cemeren died in hospital the following day, having suffered massive internal injuries and undergone surgery to remove a kidney. He had suffered a fractured skull and brain damage as well as two cardiac arrests. Miller, from Bedford, was jailed for a minimum of 21 years for his part in the attack.
