STEVE MCNAIR... NOW A 16 YEAR OLD TRICK

A 16-year-old girl is facing a life sentence after luring a teenage boy to his death in an horrific "honey trap" murder.

Samantha Joseph was found guilty of murder at the Old Bailey for leading smitten Shakilus Townsend, 16, to a quiet cul-de-sac where he was butchered by a masked gang.
The love struck teenager bled to death after being beaten with baseball bats and stabbed six times in a "relentless and merciless attack".

He was besotted with Joseph, from Brockley, south east London, and told his mother he wanted to marry her, but she told others she was using him and treated him like "s***".

While Joseph, who was 15 at the time, was happy for Shakilus to shower her with gifts, she was still obsessed with gang member Danny McLean.

McLean had dumped her when he found out about her relationship with Shakilus but she was prepared to do anything to get him back.

CCTV pictures from the day of the attack in July last year show Joseph wearing a see-through floral dress as she met Shakilus and took a bus with him.

He thought they were on their way to meet her cousin but in fact she was playing a "dangerous double game" luring him to the ambush in Thornton Heath while keeping in touch with McLean by mobile phone.

She laughed as his attackers caught him and began raining down blows with fists, feet and baseball bats before she turned and walked away.

McLean plunged a knife into his chest, raking it across his liver before twisting the blade.

As he lay bleeding to death Shakilus called out for his mother and cried: "I don't want to die."
