People are curious about Tomasz Oleszak’s death. The murder of a 14-year-old was committed by Leighton Amies, who is 15 years old.
In Gateshead, a 14-year-old kid was stabbed, and a youngster was convicted guilty of murder.
Tomasz Oleszak was assaulted in October, and after sustaining a slash to his chest that was 8 cm deep, he passed on the next day.
When a gang assault took place, Leighton Amies, who is now 15 but was 14 at the time, said he unintentionally stabbed Tomasz.
A jury at Newcastle Crown Court convicted him guilty of murder and attempting to kill another child whose clothing was cut.
The murderer, who did not know Tomasz and resided in a separate area of Tyneside, claimed to have used a steak knife with serrated edges on October 3.
Details of Tomasz Oleszak’s Death
Leighton Amies stole a serrated steak knife from his mother’s kitchen on October 3 of last year.
At his trial, the then-14-year-old acknowledged that as he left the house into the gloomy October evening, he took the silverware from the draining board and placed it in his body warmer.
A 14-year-old kid was slain by a teenager in a knife assault. At Newcastle Crown Court, he was questioned by prosecutor Mark McKone for assurance of what.
Tomasz’s chest was stabbed up to 8 cm into with “reasonable force” three hours after Amies departed, according to a pathologist.
He was from another part of Tyneside, so he didn’t know Tomasz or the Springwell district.
Amies went to see a friend, a 14-year-old girl, when he was on his way home from a dancing lesson.
He said that anywhere between three and five kids assaulted him after the young couple was followed into the park.
A 14-year-old boy was knifed by Leighton Amies
After meeting the 14-year-old girl in Springwell, he was accompanying her home via Whitehills Nature Park when she informed him that several teenagers were following them.
Amies claimed to have been punched, kicked and wrestled to the ground before pulling the knife, but the prosecution alleged he made up the incident.
After striking the victim fatally, the murderer said to the group, “I’ve wetted your boy,” the court heard.
Mark McKone KC, the prosecutor, told the jury, “He wanted them to know he had stabbed one of their numbers.” “It was bragging,”
Since Amies was the “aggressor,” and the only harm he sustained was a small thumb wound, Mr. McKone claimed that the gang was not “blameless” since they considered beating him.
Peter Makepeace KC, the defense attorney, said that his client was “flailing out indiscriminately in the act of self-defense.”
Jurors discovered that Amies hid the knife in a bush before texting a friend to ask for it to be “melted.”
According to an earlier statement made by Police, Tomasz’s mother, Kamila, father, Patryk, and his six-year-old brother were “devastated beyond words” by his death.
