THREE thugs who shot and paralysed a five-year-old girl have been jailed for life.
Nathaniel Grant, Anthony McCalla and Kazeem Kolawole showed no remorse for the attack that left Thusha Kamaleswaran in a wheelchair.
They were found guilty last month of gunning her down in a gang-related shooting at her aunts store in Stockwell, south London.
Judge Martin Stephens QC told the Old Bailey they had gone out with adetermined, pre-meditated intention to kill.
He added:Not one of you has shown a sliver of remorse. In my judgment, this is an exceptional case of the utmost gravity.
After the verdicts Thusha, now six, said: I worry that someone will try to hurt me again.
Shopper Roshan Selvakumar, 35, was shot in the face as the Brixton gang members fired at a rival.
Gunman Grant, 21, will serve a minimum of 17 years and Kolawole, 19, and McCalla, 20, at least 14 years each.
McCalla, of Streatham, south London, Grant, of Camberwell, and Kolawole, of Kennington, both south-east London, posed a significant risk to members of the public said Judge Stephens...............
