Teens detained for 'respect' killing

A 14-year-old girl who "set up" a boy to be stabbed by her boyfriend after she felt she had been "disrespected" has been sentenced for his manslaughter.

Junior Nkwelle, 15, was stabbed in the chest on a housing estate in Brixton, south London, last September.

At the Old Bailey, Cherelle McKenzie-Jackson, 14, of Brixton, was sentenced to eight years, and Marc Tulloch, 17, from Herne Hill, was given 10 years.
