Listen to the Text «Teenage Killers Free after 5 Months».

The parents of 12-year-old Louise Allen, who was killed last year, have reacted with horror to the news that her killers are to be released on the anniversary of her death.

Louise was kicked to death by 2 girls. She had intervened to separate two girls who were fighting. A fourth girl joined in, thinking the fight had become a two-against-one affair.

Louise was attacked and kicked repeatedly, once while lying motionless on the ground. She died the next day. The teenagers were convicted of manslaughter in December, and given a two-year custodial sentence.
