In Luton, on an August evening in 2025, a 26-year-old man named Adam Khan walked toward a familiar face and into a trap that had been carefully laid for him. Two teenagers — a girl who summoned him under false pretenses, a boy who arrived already armed — have now been convicted at Harrow Crown Court of his killing. The case places before us an old and unresolved question: what becomes of a society when its youngest members arrive at violence not by impulse, but by plan?
