Twoo teenagers have been sentenced for the murder of Kamran Aman in Barry.
Police were called to a report of a stabbing on Barry Road just before midnight on Monday, June 30, 2025.
Father-of-one Kamran died following his injuries, and a murder investigation was launched.
Marcus Staniforth, 17, and a teenage boy, 16, from Llantwit Major, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were arrested nearby within minutes of a 999 call being made to South Wales Police.
They pleaded guilty to manslaughter but denied murdering Kamran.
Following a trial at Cardiff Crown Court in December 2025 they were both convicted of his murder and have now been sentenced.
Both boys received life sentences.
Marcus Staniforth, 17, must serve a minimum of 17 years.
The 16-year-old, who cannot be named due to his age, must serve a minimum of 15 years.
Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Inspector Kath Barry, from South Wales Police, said: “Kamran was a much-loved husband, father, son, brother, and uncle. He was a popular and well-liked member of his community.
“Kamran was simply delivering shopping to his elderly mother when this unprovoked attack, by two people unknown to him, took place.
“Kamran did nothing whatsoever to warrant this.
“The violence could never have been foreseen and was made even more shocking by the abhorrent racist abuse used before, during and after, all captured on video footage.
“Within a matter of minutes, the lives of Kamran's family changed forever, and they are still trying to comprehend how this could possibly have happened, particularly outside the house they have called home for almost 20 years.
“They have behaved with dignity and remarkable composure during the proceedings, despite having to listen to the unbearable details of his death.
“No sentence regardless of its length can replace the pain that Kamran’s family are feeling. I hope that today’s sentences bring them a degree of comfort and, in time, allows them to rebuild their lives. We know Kamran will always be in their thoughts and we will always think of them.”
