Teen stabbed boy to death after Facebook row

Image captionA teenager has been found guilty of killing a 17-year-old boy after a row over comments made on Facebook.

Smith, of Penfold Close, Northampton, was cleared of murder by a jury at the town's crown court but found guilty of manslaughter.Smith, who was 16 at the time of the killing, claimed he acted in self-defence as he thought Louis was going to stab him.Louis was called a"popular, caring son, brother, grandson, nephew and cousin" by his family

Det Insp Stuart Hitchon said the killing"demonstrates what can be the tragic consequences of carrying a knife".

Bring back the death penalty.

Seems Facebook causes a lot of issues and problems...ban it and remove it simple.......

No surprise there then....

So so sad

🤫 don’t point out the theme. don’t look at the statistics. don’t discuss the problem.

What a surprise!!!

Just senseless. Too many raised without empathy, compassion, perspective or common sense. Who the fuck takes a life over some Facebook row? I can't get my head around it. Insane.

These kids have no idea of the value of a life.

Appears to fit the profile.................

He should have been convicted of murder. This was not manslaughter.

Usual suspects

I thought he was going to stab me, so that's why I went armed with a huge hunting knife, rather than avoiding him. What a crock of shit surprised the jury bought it.

If this were an American headline,,it would say something like 'white teen stabs black boy' or 'white cop shoots black teen'.. Then they wonder why they have such race problems.

So stabbing someone in the chest with a hunting knife isn't murder?wow

Wrong place at the wrong time, such a nice bloke, helped his gran with the shopping, coming home from bible club, was going to be a lawer, . . .

BAME at it again. Everyday is violence with these people.

It gets like that

Terrible what gangsters do online to ordinary people like ourselves. I hope he gets a long time in jail.

Social media has horrific effects on young minds.

That’s their defence Bizarre..

FB is parent, mate, best friend, worse enemy, teacher, god, companion...to many of it's users. It's an isolator and judge, and does NOT care about you.

Face book should reco a light row for the prop. hume was not true, so Whatever scum!

What is going on 😡

I bet he gets community service and a library card

Goodness. Stay off Facebook. Try Twitter. Everybody is so polite and friendly.

staten73 Prison must be the new vacation getaway....
