Death of Damilola Taylor- On 27 November 2000, ten-year-old Nigerian schoolboy Damilola Taylor was killed in London, in what became one of the United Kingdom's most high-profile killings. Two brothers – who were 12 and 13 at the time of the killing – were convicted of manslaughter in 2006. Despite the setback, police vowed to keep the investigation open. New DNA techniques identified Taylor's blood on the trainers of another boy (not one of the first four suspects) Daniel Preddie. and on the sweatshirt cuff of his brother Richard Preddie.This led to a re-examination of the evidence obtained at the time of Taylor's death. In 2005, fresh arrests were made, this time on charges of manslaughter. The arrested were Hassan Jihad, 19, and the two Preddie brothers, aged 16 and 17 – who could not be named at the time due to their age.
