A 13-year-old boy has become one of the youngest people in Britain to be convicted of murder after he stamped on a woman so hard he left a shoe print on her face . The schoolboy , who can not be named for legal reasons , punched charity worker Glynis Bensley , 47 , in the head and stamped on her before stealing her money , phone and jewellery . Ms Bensley was found dead in a pool of blood with her head in the gutter in Smethwick , West Midlands , moments after the violent battering in September last year . The child robber stood trial alongside Zoheb Majid , 20 , from Smethwick , who was found guilty of robbery and manslaughter . A 13-year-old boy has become one of the youngest people in Britain to be convicted of murder after he stamped on a woman so hard he left a shoe print on her face ( pictured is the scene in Smethwick ) A jury at Wolverhampton Crown Court heard how the duo had planned to carry out a robbery via text messages a fortnight before the murder . Mrs Bensley was on her way home from the Seven Stars when she was knocked to the ground by the schoolboy . CCTV footage revealed that Majid arrived on his bicycle moments later and the pair turned their victim over , stealing from her pockets . A post-mortem examination of Ms Bensley revealed she died from a severe bleed on the brain . After the attack , the schoolboy fled to nearby Victoria Park to meet up with friends and was heard boasting about the murder and selling a gold bracelet . Both robbers claimed they believed the victim was a man because of Ms Bensley 's clothing and hairstyle . Detective Chief Inspector Sam Ridding , of West Midlands Police , said : 'It was clearly the joint intention of the pair to use violence on anyone they targeted . Ms Bensley was found dead in a pool of blood with her head in the gutter in Smethwick , West Midlands , moments after the violent battering in September last year . 'They were in it together as the CCTV showed - they arrived within seconds of each other . 'Ms Bensley was tragically in the wrong place at the wrong time and was randomly picked out by the pair believing that she was a man and that she was wearing a gold bracelet . 'The brutal attack was captured on CCTV lasting 32 seconds . 'Our thoughts remain with Glynis ' family at this time and we hope that today 's verdict will provide some help in their grieving process . ' Ms Bensley 's sister Dawn , 55 , from Smethwick , said : 'We are a very close and supportive family and always look out for each other . 'To try and explain how Glynis ' murder has affected us is very hard to put into words . 'Glynis was my only sister and best friend . I would describe her as my right arm and I thought we would grow old together . ' A full statement from the victim 's family read : 'We as individuals and collectively as a family have lost a great friend . 'We are unable to express in words the impact that our loss is having on our family . 'Whilst we get on with the day-to-day trivialities of life , the circumstances of Glynis ' death remind us all of the important things in life . 'At the time of Glynis ' death she was upbeat and looking forward to family holidays and celebrations including her own birthday later that month . 'Glynis spent her life caring for others working in roles for the British Heart Foundation , animal welfare , and was also an active fundraiser for charity 's Cancer Research , Mencap and Cystic Fibrosis . 'The family would like to acknowledge and thank the family liaison team for taking us through this dark period . 'They would also like to offer sincere thanks to Mr Atkins QC and the investigation team . ' Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article .
