Two teenagers, Nathan Otitodilchukwu and a 16-year-old, were sentenced for their role in the firework attack that resulted in the death of 76-year-old Robert Price in East London. Their actions followed a history of harassment against Mr. Price, culminating in a deliberate act where they smashed a window and threw a firework into his home. Judge Rebecca Trowler KC noted the planned nature of the attack and recognized significant implications of their reckless actions. The older defendant received a six-year sentence while the younger received two years and eight months, reflecting their involvement and responsibility in the crime.
"Mr Price lost his life in circumstances of a planned attack where I am sure you intended some harm, and in any event it was highly reckless as to the risk of harm."
"Robert Price was killed in a fire which was started at his home address by the two defendants who smashed a window at his property and threw a firework inside."
