Dramatic footage shows the moment a 15-year-old boy was arrested at gunpoint by police after stabbing a teenager to death as he walked home from school.

Rohan Shand, 16, who was known as Fred, was knifed in the Kingsthorpe area of Northampton on March 22 this year after an argument between his killer and his friends led to a vicious plot being hatched on Snapchat.

His killer, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was found guilty of murder in August and sentenced on Thursday to serve a minimum of 13 years in a Young Offenders Institute.

Following the sentencing, Northamptonshire Police released CCTV of the moments before the killing and body camera footage of armed police arresting the 15-year-old murderer as he cowered behind a chest of drawers in an attic room.

Fred's grieving father says his life will 'never be the same' after the attack, while police have condemned the killer for the 'brutality' with which he carried out the savage attack after hunting down the teen on an electric scooter.
