Three girls admit killing 75-year-old in attack filmed on mobile phone
Three teenage girls have admitted killing a 75-year-old man in a street attack filmed on a 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. 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.

Northern Ireland Struck by Anti-Immigrant Violence for Third Night
Violence wracked Northern Ireland for a third night on Wednesday, as police clashed with anti-immigrant rioters across the territory. In Ballymena, where the unrest began on Monday, groups of masked rioters hurled petrol bombs and bricks at police officers. In Larne, about 20 miles west, masked groups set fire to a leisure center that was temporarily used as emergency housing for families forced out of Ballymena earlier in the week. The local authorities told the BBC in a statement later that the families had all been safely relocated. The arson attacks come after homes and cars were targeted in Ballymena, in what the police say are 'hate-fueled' attacks after an alleged sexual assault in the town on Saturday. By The New York Times Northern Ireland's power sharing executive issued a joint statement on Wednesday condemning what they described as 'racially motivated violence.' 'Those weaponising the situation in order to sow racial tensions do not care about seeing justice and have nothing to offer their communities but division and disorder,' the statement said. At least 32 police officers have been injured. On Wednesday, the Police Service of Northern Ireland requested mutual aid from elsewhere in the United Kingdom; the police in Scotland confirmed they would be sending a deployment of officers to Northern Ireland on Thursday. The conflagration, which started in Ballymena and has quickly spread to other towns in Northern Ireland, began on Monday after two 14-year-old boys appeared in court, charged with the attempted oral rape of a teenage girl in Clonavon Terrace on Saturday night. The boys spoke through a Romanian translator, the BBC reported, and both denied the charges through their lawyer. The incident prompted outrage in Ballymena, a town about 30 miles northwest of Belfast. It was quickly amplified by far-right and anti-immigration voices on social media. On Wednesday afternoon, the streets of Clonavon Terrace were quiet. Children peered out of windows as heavily armored police vehicles zipped through the streets. Several homes were boarded up — some displayed Union Jack flags in the windows, signaling that those inside were British. Residents stood in doorways, quickly shutting doors if approached. By nightfall, large groups had once again gathered, squaring off with nearly a dozen heavily armored police vehicles and dozens of officers in riot gear. Bricks, fireworks and petrol bombs smacked against riot shields of dozens of police officers, who used water cannons and, later, attack dogs on those who refused to disperse. The tit-for-tat exchange wound its way through the mazelike streets of the neighborhood until the crowds began to scatter around 11 p.m. More demonstrations are expected on Thursday, when a status yellow warning may bring rain and heavy thunderstorms to parts of Northern Ireland.
