Three girls admit killing 75-year-old in attack filmed on mobile phone

Fredi Rivero was set upon in Islington, north London, on February 27 and died in hospital the next day. The victim, a Bolivian national, was near a bus stop on Seven Sisters Road when the teenagers got off a bus and surrounded him. The youths, aged 15, 16 and 17, pushed, shoved, kicked and punched him, with one of them filming the incident on her phone and grabbing his glasses. Fredi Rivero died in February after being attacked by three girls (Metropolitan Police/PA) As part of the police investigation, officers recovered CCTV footage of the assault in which the oldest girl was seen to punch the victim in the head causing him to fall backwards. Police were called at 11.25pm to reports of the disturbance and found Mr Rivero unconscious on the pavement with a severe head injury and in cardiac arrest. He was taken to the Royal London Hospital where he later died. On Thursday, the girls, who cannot be identified because of their ages, appeared at the Old Bailey before Judge Judy Khan KC. The girls, who appeared from custody by video link, pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Judge Khan ordered 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'. Mr Rivero's daughter, ex-wife and cousins attended court for the hearing on Thursday. Detective Inspector Devan Taylor, from Scotland Yard, 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 heart-felt 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.'

Olympic swimmer speaks of devastation after attack on leisure centre

On the third night of disorder on the streets of Ballymena, masked youths attacked Larne Leisure Centre, around 20 miles away, under the impression it was housing immigrant families who had been affected by violence. On Thursday morning, the leisure centre was described as closed until further notice while the damage is assessed. Danielle Hill, who competed in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and the 2020 Games in Tokyo, spoke of her sadness at events in the town that 'I have proudly represented on the world stage'. Hill, who is a member of Larne Swimming Club and also coaches younger children at the club, said the leisure centre was a safe space for many people. 'No child should ever be forced to witness masked men in their home community,' she said. 'The local leisure centre is a safe place for so many, from young children (as young as six) learning to swim to elderly residents, has now been transformed into a place marked by fear and trauma. 'What unfolded last night was not just violence – it was racism in its rawest and most dangerous form. Young people seeking 'fun' in a senseless act of vandalism. 'And its consequences are already being felt; a local community torn apart, families left frightened, workers left without incomes. 'The harm is not abstract – it is here, it is local and it is devastating.' She also called for rebuilding. 'This is a moment to come together, not fall apart,' she said. 'Let's keep talking. Let's keep listening. As we have done so many times before, let's lead with compassion, stand up for one another and show the strength of our community through our support – for every child and every family that calls this centre a home. Time to rebuild.'
