The 15-year-old victim almost died after the stabbing attack in February last year, a court is told.
Two teenagers who attempted to kill a 15-year-old boy in East Renfrewshire have been detained for 40 months.
Doctors initially thought the victim, who was stabbed with an eight-inch knife, would not survive after he was rushed to hospital.One of the attackers was later found sobbing down the phone confessing to police what he had done, the court was told. But Lord Young said the circumstances of the offence meant the pair still needed to be given terms of detention.He told the first accused: "You pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted murder. If it had not been for the actions of the taxi driver, the police and the surgeons, you would be appearing in the dock today on a charge of murder.
At earlier proceedings, the court heard how the murder bid occurred in Thornliebank Road, Thornliebank.They knew their victim and had been in contact earlier. All three were later seen in the area of Thornliebank Road. After the crime, the then 15-year-old attacker was described as distressed stating to a witness: "It was me who started it."The victim suffered 10 wounds including five to his left arm and needed emergency surgery for life-threatening injuries to his chest and abdomen.
