Three teenagers have been jailed for murdering a boy they did not know in a barbaric attack.
Babacar Diagne was stabbed almost 20 times, police said.
The motive for the attack in Coventry in February was not known, they added, saying the 15-year-old was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time .
Two 16-year-old boys and a third, aged 17, were unanimously found guilty earlier in the week and on Thursday were each jailed for at least 16 years.
Due to their ages, the boys cannot be named, despite an appeal from the press.
