The two killers, who cannot be named because of their age, were 12-years-old when they attacked Shawn Seesahai with a machete on Stowlawn playing fields in Bilston last November.
They were sentenced in September to at least eight years and six months in custody for the murder of the "humble and hardworking" 19-year-old who was visiting the area when he was set upon in a vicious machete attack.
According to reports, the terms handed to Mr Seesahai's schoolboy killers could be made subject to a review after being branded 'too lenient' by his devastated parents and members of the public.
Mr Seesahai had come to the UK from his native Anguilla with his tight-knit family for cataract treatment just months earlier.
The two boys, were the youngest convicted murderers in Britain since James Bulger's killers, are now 13 years old and were just 12 when they set upon Mr Seesahai and his friend, who managed to flee. A court heard that one of the defendants posed, wearing a mask, with the murder weapon for a picture hours before the killing, and that they attacked Mr Seesahai without provocation near a park bench.
