"Three teenage girls who admitted manslaughter after a 75-year-old man died in a street attack that was filmed on a mobile phone have been detained. The girls, aged 15, 16 and 17, pushed, shoved, kicked and punched Fredi Rivero near a bus stop in Islington, north London, on 27 February, with one of them filming the assault on her phone and grabbing his glasses."
"Mr Rivero, a Bolivian national, was near a bus stop on Seven Sisters Road when the teenagers got off a bus and surrounded him. He was found by police officers unconscious on the pavement with a severe head injury and in cardiac arrest."
"He was taken to the Royal London Hospital where he died the next day. The three girls, referred to in court only as D1, D2 and D3 because of their ages, were given four years, three and a half years, and two and a half years' detention respectively. Mr Rivero's daughter told the court it was not his time to die and his "death was forced upon him"."
