Overview

• Two 17-year-olds and a 15-year-old received youth detention terms of four years, three years and six months, and two years and six months, for a combined total of nine years.
• The court heard the girls got off a bus near Seven Sisters Road, surrounded Fredi Rivero, pulled off his glasses, and one punched him, causing a fatal head injury captured on video.
• Police tracked the trio within hours using CCTV and phone analysis, arresting two in a nearby park and the third at her home, after which they tried to blame one another.
• Prosecutors described the attack as unprovoked street violence against a particularly vulnerable man, with evidence of other filmed assaults found on a defendant’s phone.
• Judge Judy Khan KC noted the defendants’ traumatic upbringings as mitigation, while the victim’s daughter described him as kind and gentle and said his death was forced upon him by three girls.
