Lyrico sustained 18 slash and stab wounds to his body in the attack.
He managed to crawl to a house nearby where a woman called the police and ambulance for help.
Sadly he died five days later in hospital.
In his dying breath, he managed to tell police that he had been stabbed by four youths.
This was a cold and extremely calculated attack on a teenage boy"

She said: "He did not do anything to contribute to his death. Sometimes the public will say 'he must have done this or done that.'
"He was not carrying knives that night or drugs. He was just going on a date.
"I would like to pay tribute to him, he was a lovely lad, and his family, especially how they have spoken out against knife crime."

What happened to the others involved in Lyrico Steede's murder?
A 17-year-old boy (at the time), who cannot be identified, and Remmell Campbell-Mille were found not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter at their trial.
The teen girl who set the trap was handed a six-year sentence for manslaughter.
Senior Investigating Officer Detective Chief Inspector Hayley Williams said: “This was not an attack in the heat of the moment.
