ONE of the teenagers who murdered 17-year-old Harley Brown in a brutal attack can now be named.
The 17-year-old can now be named as Zak Robinson, from Dalton in Huddersfield. The other teenager cannot be named for legal reasons.
Robinson was sentenced to life with a minimum term of 14 years and six months.
The 15-year-old was sentenced to life in custody with a minimum term of 10 years and three months.
The attack has been branded as a tragic example of the dreadful consequences of knife crime by senior detectives.
Leeds Crown Court heard that Harley had met the defendants by chance in the doorway of a 24-hour shop on Colne Street at around 3.40am on February 20.
The teenagers chased him to Maple Street where he was attacked with bladed weapons.
Harley was able to stagger to Kings Mill Lane after the attack where he was found by emergency services having suffered multiple stab injuries.
He was taken to hospital for emergency medical treatment but tragically died from his injuries later that morning.
