Rhamero West, 16 had just completed his first day at college when he was chased by his attackers who used a long-bladed knife "like a baton in a relay race".
On Friday the three men were jailed with Cashin and Lawrence receiving life sentences, with minimum terms of 24 years and 21 years respectively before they can be considered for parole.The young men were jailed for a total of 61 years.In an emotional statement, Rhamero's mother, Kelly Brown, told the jury: "To the court, my boy is just a statistic - another case - but to me this is real life and my beautiful fun-loving, caring, respectable boy who loved his family.
"We are doing a life sentence and things will never be the same again for us and his family. Rhamero touched the lives of not just his family, friends but the community as well. "You will probably list your problems to get a lighter sentence, autistic, being young etc, the court hears it all. However you took our son's life.
Richards wielded a knife at the driver's window in stationary traffic before a high-speed pursuit followed in which Rhamero collided with another vehicle and hit a tree. Following sentencing, Detective Chief Inspector Liz Hopkinson, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "Rhamero was only 16-years-old when he was violently, and needlessly, murdered in broad daylight by a group of teenagers. No parent should ever have to receive the news that their child has been killed and the perpetrators, refusing to admit responsibility, have only added to their suffering by forcing them to endure the pain of a trial.
