A schoolgirl who acted as a “honey trap” to lure a besotted boy to his death at the hands of a masked gang was jailed for a minimum of ten years yesterday.
Samantha Joseph, who was 15 at the time, led Shakilus Townsend, 16, to a group of six youths, including her boyfriend, who ambushed him, beat him with baseball bats and stabbed him six times. He bled to death crying for his mother and telling residents, who tried to stem his bleeding after the gang fled, that he did not want to die.
Amid shouts of “scum”, “shame” and “honey trap” from the public gallery at the Old Bailey, Joseph, now 17, looked momentarily nervous as she was led to the cells.
