He was 14-years-old at the time and in secure accommodation for previous violent offences.
The judge said: "The killing of Mrs Castle was a particularly despicable offence. It was markedly serious in my view and detestable given her so obvious frailty... These were cruel offences. I am sure you are both dangerous and pose a very high risk to the public of serious harm." - Case Timeline
