The teenager murderer who stabbed a boy to death in the street can be named for the first time. L’Vaion Peniston was just 14 when he murdered 16-year-old Kennie Carter in Stretford .

Kennie was killed as he walked home as part of a tit-for-tat feud. The killing was fuelled by revenge following an incident the day before.

Last July, Peniston, then 16, was found guilty of murder. At Manchester Crown Court , he was handed the youth equivalent of a life sentence, and ordered to serve at least 17 years.

Peniston could not be named during the murder case because of reporting restrictions imposed because of his age. Following his conviction, the Manchester Evening News applied to the judge for reporting restrictions to be lifted, but the application was rejected.
