<\/p>\nThree girls who surrounded a 75-year-old man before he was shoved, kicked and punched, and then died the following a day, have been detained.<\/p>\n
Fredi Rivero, a Bolivian national, was near a bus stop in north London when the girls got off and surrounded him.<\/p>\n
They walked away but later returned, and shoved, kicked and punched him – while one of them recorded the attack on their phone.<\/p>\n
The three girls, who were aged 17, 16 and 14 at the time of the crime and cannot be named because of their age, pleaded guilty to manslaughter.<\/p>\n
At the Old Bailey on Friday, Judge Judy Khan KC sentenced the girls to four years, three-and-a-half years and two-and-a-half years’ detention respectively.<\/p>\n

Police were called to reports of the disturbance in Seven Sisters Road in Islington at about 11.35pm on 27 February.<\/p>\n
They found Mr Rivero unconscious on the pavement with a severe head injury and in cardiac arrest.<\/p>\n
He was taken to the Royal London Hospital, where he later died.<\/p>\n

In her victim impact statement, Mr Rivero’s daughter Carla Rivero, told the Old Bailey “it wasn’t my Dad’s time to die”.<\/p>\n
“His death was forced upon him by three girls,” she said, adding he was “the nicest person you could ever meet, so kind, never bothered anyone”.<\/p>\n
She said the attack had left her “questioning what type of generation of youths is being raised as a result of all this”.<\/p>\n
Ms Rivero said her mother “feels heartbroken and devastated and she cries every day” and “feels scared when she sees youths in the street”.<\/p>\n
‘Senseless attack on lone man’<\/p>\n
She said: “My dad will be remembered and honoured for the kind and peaceful person he was, not in the manner of which his life was taken.”<\/p>\n
Detective Inspector Devan Taylor, from Scotland Yard, previously described the incident as a “senseless and completely out-of-the-blue attack on a lone, elderly man”.<\/p>\n
He added: “I know how much his death has impacted those close to him and the wider community.”<\/p>\n
‘Enormity of their actions’<\/p>\n
“I would like to offer my heart-felt sympathy to Mr Rivero’s family for their loss and express my admiration for the dignity they have shown throughout the investigation.<\/p>\n
“I also wish to thank the members of public who went to Mr Rivero’s aid as he lay injured.<\/p>\n
“The age of the defendants adds to the devastating nature of this incident and they will now have to deal with the enormity of their actions.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three girls who surrounded a 75-year-old man before he was shoved, kicked and punched, and then died the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":60277,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-60276","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60276","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60276"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60276\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
