THE two teenagers who murdered 17-year-old girl scout, Jodie Chesney in a savage attack have been jailed.

Drug dealer, Svenson Ong-a-Kwie and his wannabe thug "apprentice," Aaron Issacs, 17, were handed life sentences for the knifing of "blameless" Jodie.

Who were Svenson Ong-a-Kwie and Arron Isaacs?

Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and a 17-year-old boy named as Aaron Isaacs were found guilty of Jodie Chesneymurder  at the Old Bailey.

The baby-faced Isaacs was dramatically named and pictured after a judge ordered police bodycam footage to be released, showing the arrest of Isaacs and Ong-a-Kwie.

Ong-a-Kwie has been dubbed a "county lines drug-dealer."

Judge Wendy Joseph QC said the 17-year-old had "screamed until she could scream no more" after being stabbed in the back by the youths.

Sentencing Ong-a-Kwie and Isaacs, the judge said they "prepared to attack" Jodie in "callous and casual violence."

Days after Jodie's death, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth.

The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound.

The judge found Ong-a-Kwie had conducted the fatal attack, dubbing Isaacs his "enthusiastic supporter".

Their co-defendants Manual Petrovic, 20, and a 16-year-old boy were cleared of murder after the jury deliberated for six hours.

Members of Jodie's family, including father Peter and sister Lucy, erupted with cheers of "yes!" and clenched their fists as the guilty verdicts were delivered.

What happened to Jodie Chesney?

Girl Scout Jodie, 17, was knifed in the back in a playground in St Neot’s Road in Harold Hill, East London.

She was approached by a gang of balaclava-clad youths as she hung out with her boyfriend and a male friend on the night of Friday, March 1, 2019.

The A-level student is said to have been stabbed so hard that the weapon snapped — leaving the blade lodged in her body.

The attack happened at around 9.20pm at Harold Hill park in Romford, Essex with Jodie pronounced dead at the scene despite an onlooker and emergency service's best efforts to save her.

The unprovoked attack is one of the most horrific London stabbings seen so far in 2019.

Witnesses described hearing “blood-curdling” screams for help from her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle who said in an impact statement during the hearing: "I’ve never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I’ve gone to, to be my own girlfriend’s is incredibly hard. I loved her."

But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world.

The judge today found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and 17-year-old Isaacs his "enthusiastic supporter".

The "pathetic" drugs turf war was over £20 "Pineapple Express" cannabis.
