Two men convicted of brutally murdering six-year-old Sean Luke, 15 years ago, can still possibly be released from prison eventually.
After convicting Akeel Mitchell and Richard Chatoo of the heinous crime at the end of their virtual judge-alone trial yesterday, High Court Judge Lisa Ramsumair-Hinds sought to pre-empt possible calls from the members of the public for the duo to face the mandatory death penalty for murder.

NO CLOSURE: Pauline Bharat, mother of Sean Luke, wipes a tear away as she reacts to the verdict, on Friday, in which two men were found guilty of murdering him 15 years ago. - AYANNA KINSALE
PAULINE Bharat, the mother of six-year-old Sean Luke, feels she has received no justice, no joy and no real closure, after a High Court judge delivered a guilty verdict on two men accused of killing him 15 years ago, in March 2006.
Sitting in the garage of her family s home at Henry Street West in Orange Valley, Couva, Bharat spoke from her heart.
Occasionally she stared with tear-filled eyes in the direction of the nearby bushy area where Sean s body was discovered.

It took 15 long years before the murder trial against two men - then boys - accused of killing Sean Luke got off the ground.
After two months of witness testimony, submissions and deliberations, the two accused were yesterday convicted for the brutal murder of little Sean.
Much like the actual crime which occurred in 2006, the verdict handed down by Justice Lisa Ramsumair-Hinds also captivated the nation, as many showed interest, demanding justice for the little boy whose life was violently cut short at the tender age of six.
Sean Luke’s mother: ‘I have to live until I die without my child’

Sean Luke’s mother Pauline Lumfai wept openly yesterday when Guardian Media visited her home at Henry Street East, Orange Valley, shortly after a High Court Judge found two men guilty of murdering her six-year-old.
But Lumfai said the only way she could get justice is if she gets her son back, something that will never happen.
“I have to live with that for the rest of my life because there is no true justice for me. The justice, what I want is that I want back my son. They could give me back my child? They can’t, so where my justice is? That is it, I have no justice,” she said.
