Girls Beat A 75-Year-Old Man To Death

This is the shocking moment three teenage girls beat a 75-year-old man to death in a brutal street attack that was filmed on a mobile phone. 

Never seen before CCTV footage shows the youths, aged 15, 16, and 17, pushing, shoving, and kicking Fredi Rivero by a bus stop in Islington, north London. 

The oldest girl was also seen to punch the victim in the head causing him to fall back onto the pavement.

Mr Rivero, who had just got off a bus, suffered a severe head injury and went into cardiac arrest during the unprovoked attack on February 27 this year.

The Bolivian national was taken to the Royal London Hospital where he passed away in the early hours of February 28.

The three girls, who were seen staggering around with a vodka bottle, were arrested soon after the attack. 

Police later learned that one of them had filmed the horrendous attack on her mobile phone. 

In the footage, the 17-year-old shouts: ‘I don’t care’ and ‘Why are you chatting to little girls bruv’. She then said: ‘Hit me I f* dare you.’

Bystanders said the girls started telling them Mr Rivero had been harassing them but he did not seem to have done anything.

On Thursday, the teens, who cannot be identified because of their ages, appeared before Judge Judy Khan KC at the Old Bailey.

The girls, who attended via video link, pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

Judge Khan requested reports and remanded the defendants into custody to be sentenced on September 5.

Previously, police have said Mr Rivero was a ‘much-loved father’ whose family were ‘devastated by his death’.

On Thursday, the court session was attended by Mr. Rivero’s daughter, his ex-wife, and his relatives.

Detective Inspector Devan Taylor, Specialist Crime said:’Mr Rivero was a much-loved family man who died in a truly tragic incident.

‘I know how much his death has impacted those close to him and the wider community.

‘I would like to offer my heartfelt sympathy to Mr Rivero’s family for their loss and express my admiration for the dignity they have shown throughout the investigation.

‘I also wish to thank the members of public who went to Mr Rivero’s aid as he lay injured.

‘The young defendants have now accepted they were responsible for the killing of Mr Rivero, in what was a senseless and completely out of the blue attack on a lone elderly man.

‘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.’

This is not manslaughter, it’s murder because murder is based on intent, and the age of these teenagers should be irrelevant when lives are needlessly taken – age is no excuse.

All the excuses will be coming out shortly – they have ADHD, they come from a broken home where there is alcohol abuse blah, blah, blah. It’s not their fault, the system has failed them. It is their fault!

The fact that they attempted to place the responsibility on the victim is concerning.

Corporal punishment needs to be implemented now! It was prohibited by the Tories and destructive behaviour has sky-rocketed since then.

It’s horrendous these days with young people, whether they be male or female – they’re like a pack of wild animals. Visualize living to 75 years old and being a good human being, only to die in such a senseless way.
