Two boys who carjacked a vicar in Hull have been sentenced to 24 months in youth detention.
Leon Wrigglesworth (above right), 13, and Jay Desborough, 17, dragged Rev Irene Wilson out of her car in August after she attended Holy Trinity Church.
A ban on naming the boys was lifted by the court.
The pair also stole her handbag containing £250 and a laptop.
Jay Desborough admitted robbery. Leon Wrigglesworth denied robbery and was found guilty, along with 15 other offences.
Rev Irene Wilson is calling people to pray for the boys.
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
