75-year-old Fredi Rivero, was beaten to death by teenage girls in London last week.
A pensioner who was punched, shoved and kicked by three teen girls died in the hospital the following day, a court heard.
The 75-year-old victim, named by police as Fredi Rivero, was allegedly attacked on Seven Sisters Road in Islington, north London, at around 11.35pm on Thursday, February 27. He was treated by emergency services at the scene but died in hospital the following day.
Highbury Corner Youth Court heard how the horrific incident was catpured on camera by one of the defendants on her phone. Three teenage girls, aged 14, 16 and 17, were arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm before the man’s death, but have now been charged with manslaughter.
The alleged victim, believed to be a Bolivian national, was near a bus stop when the defendants got off the bus. He was then surrounded by the girls, who then walked away, the court heard.
They then returned and the victim was pushed and shoved, and at one point kicked and punched, before he fell over, the court heard. One of the teenagers recorded the incident on her mobile, the prosecution added.
Chair of the bench Alexia Fetherstonhaugh remanded the defendants into youth detention accommodation and told them they will appear at the Old Bailey on March 31.
