Boy gets life for murder of teenager A 15-year-old was given a life sentence yesterday for killing a schoolboy whose stabbing was recorded on the victim's mobile phone. Leroy James, 14, was knifed in a park by Mustafa Gurpinar. Gurpinar had challenged Leroy on Facebook to a fight in Ponders End, north London, in August last year. The killing was recorded on Leroy's phone by a friend. Last month Gurpinar was found guilty of murder and of having a knife as an offensive weapon. He was ordered to serve at least 13 years.
