Two teenagers have been sentenced to a total of 31 years for the murder of Swindon teenager Owen Dunn.

Tyler Hunt, 18, of Park South, was today sentenced to a minimum term of 19 years in prison at Bristol Crown Court.

A 15-year-old boy who cannot be named for legal reasons, was sentenced to 12 years in prison.

They were both found guilty of killing Owen following a trial in November by a unanimous jury decision.

18-year-old Owen died after being fatally stabbed on December 4, 2022 in Mazurek Way, Swindon. It’s believed he was cycling to see his girlfriend, and was also carrying a weapon, which was later found by paramedics.

The jury was shown CCTV, doorbell and dash cam footage which showed Hunt (who was 17 at the time) and the 15-year-old (then 14) travelling on e-bikes to the scene where the attack happened.

In a victim impact statement, Owen’s family said: “On the 4th December 2022, our lives as a family changed forever. We lost a son, a brother, a grandson, a nephew and a friend.

“We mourn the loss of witnessing his (Owen’s) milestones, turning 21, 30, 50, getting married, experiencing parenthood or gaining his independence. Owen will never see his brother start a family, his mum reach 50 or have a drink with his cousin for his 18th. His absence during his own 20th birthday, Christmas, and his father’s 50th celebration intensifies our heartache.
