'Chilling' CCTV footage shows moment Ronan Kanda killers struck
Police have released chilling footage showing the moment that Ronan Kanda’s killers ended this life.
The CCTV footage, compiled by West Midlands Police, shows the moments before the murder of the 16-year-old, who was a pupil at Wolverhampton’s Khalsa Academy.
The shocking video shows killers Prabjeet Veadhesa and Sukhman Shergill, from Walsall, as they prepare to pounce on the unsuspecting teen – yards from his Mount Road home, in Lanesfield, on June 29 last year. The video starts with Veadhesa entering a shop where he can be seen leaving with a parcel containing the two blades.
It then switches to CCTV footage of defenceless Ronan, who had just sat his GCSE exams, walking from his friend’s house and listening to music on earphones. He was oblivious to the presence of the pair who also attended the same school.
The defendants dressed in black clothing and wearing face coverings can be seen running after the unsuspecting teen, before attacking him with ‘ninja’ styled swords purchased on the internet.
In another image we can see one of the sword wielding killers swing his arm out, preparing to lunge at Ronan, before the footage.
It was Veadhesa who is then seen to stab Ronan in his abdomen and then his heart as the victim turns to look over his shoulder in a horrifying case of mistaken identity.
They then flee the scene in a red Corsa accompanied by two older acquaintances.
Both were sentenced for murder at Wolverhampton Crown Court. Veadhesa for a minimum of 18 years and Shergill a minimum of 16 years minus time on remand.
The footage can be viewed below.
