Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained for at least 18 years.

She said Jodie’s death led to a “world of anguish” for her family, which came amid “tit for tat” incidents. Jodie was the victim of “callous, casual and irresponsible violence” that had shocked the community “to the core”, she said.

On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and Isaacs his “enthusiastic supporter”.

The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had “carved up areas of the capital of this country”. She added: “The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case.”

She said: ‘The defendant is a child, he is 16-years-old and is of good character.‘

Judge Anthony Leonard QC said: ‘The deceased was 17 and was with her friends in a playground.

‘The defendant is to be remanded in youth detention until his pre trial hearing on May 28.

‘The trial is scheduled for September.‘

The teenager wept when he was asked to stand up by the Judge and told he will stay in youth detention.
