Children have been reported to share sick photos of a murdered teenager in his coffin on Snapchat and WhatsApp.
Loui Phillips, 15, was tragically stabbed to death by 17-year-old Kyle Pickles in August last year, reports Yorkshire Live.
Pickles had threatened violence against any boy who was a friend or acquaintance of a young woman with whom he himself was a friend.
On one occasion he tried to stab the girl’s father and savagely attacked a boy, kicking him in the head.
Pickles terrifyingly tracked down the teenager using Snapchat maps on August 8 and spotted her with Loui in Fish Bank Lane, Monk Bretton, South Yorkshire.
Despite never having met the 15-year-old before, he plunged a kitchen knife into his chest with such force that the blade broke.
Pickles then calmly walked away while Loui and his friend called their parents to tell them what had happened.

Loui was taken to the hospital where doctors removed the blade from his heart, but he went into cardiac arrest and his brain ran out of oxygen.
He died four days later in hospital, and in December, Loui’s killer was sentenced to life in prison.
Loui’s mother paid a heartbreaking tribute to her son in court during Pickles’ sentencing and, in their grief, the family is now allegedly facing new heartbreak after children in Barnsley, South Yorkshire have been sharing photos of Loui. in his coffin on WhatsApp and Snapchat.
