The article has one picture of the device (obtained from the police), one of Ahmed being led away in handcuffs (probably from someone's phone), and two that look like they were taken after this became a media sensation. Are there others?

You don't think a 14-year-old or their parents would know better than to talk to the police without a lawyer, especially after what's happened so far? Or that they haven't been contacted by dozens of lawyers wanting to represent them?
