Leicester: Gang of teenagers jailed for killing ‘beloved’ father.

The group included twins Nero and Nevardo McLean, of Upperton Road, Leicester, who had celebrated their 16th birthdays the day before the murder.

Because of the seriousness of the crimes, the judge lifted a reporting restriction that prohibited the publication of their names because of their ages.

Mr Osborne – described as a “much-loved” brother and father – was stabbed while cycling in the city at 9.30pm BST on September 27.

He was taken to Leicester Royal Infirmary but died about an hour later.

The court heard the group “hunted” Mr Osborne.

Nero McLean admitted manslaughter but was convicted of murder last month.

His brother Nevardo McLean and three other teenagers – James Williams, 18, of Pelham Way, Leicester; Moises Steiner, 18, of Dovedale Road in Thurmaston; and Theobald Budzwa, 18, of Ash Court, Groby – were convicted of manslaughter.

Nero McLean received a life sentence and must serve at least 17 years before being considered for parole.

Nevardo McLean, Williams, Steiner and Budzwa were each given eight years in prison, of which they must serve two-thirds before being released.

All five were also convicted of having a bladed article in a public place, but received no separate sentence.
