UK teen jailed for deaths

LONDON: A 15-year-old was sentenced to at least 23 years in prison on Friday for killing his ex-girlfriend and her older sister after setting their house on fire when she dumped him.

Akmol Miah killed 15-year-old Maleha Masud and Nabiha Masud, 21, at their home in Tooting, South London.

Aged 14 at the time of the attack in June last year, Miah looked on the internet the day before for "how to burn someone's house down".

The youth recruited his cousin, Shihabouddin Choudhury, to help start the blaze by pouring petrol through the Masuds' letterbox and setting it alight.
