Three Teenage Girls Sentenced to Youth Detention for Manslaughter of 75-Year-Old in London

CCTV and mobile phone footage captured the unprovoked assault and enabled rapid arrests after the late-night attack.

Overview

  • The Old Bailey handed the trio a combined nine-year term, with sentences of four years, three years and six months, and two years and six months.
  • Fredi Rivero was attacked near a Seven Sisters Road bus stop on February 27 and died the next day from a traumatic head injury.
  • Footage shown in court showed the girls surrounding him, pulling off his glasses, and one delivering the punch that caused his fatal fall.
  • Mr Rivero’s daughter described him as kind and gentle in a victim impact statement, saying his death was forced upon him by three girls.
  • Police arrested two suspects in a nearby park within hours and a third at home, with investigators citing prior violent videos on phones and noting the defendants cannot be identified due to their ages.
