Fredi Rivero died in hospital the day after being attacked by girls aged 15, 16 and 17
Three teenage girls have pleaded guilty to the “senseless” killing of a 75-year-old man in a street attack in north London filmed on a mobile phone.
Fredi Rivero, a Bolivian national, was attacked by the teenagers, aged 15, 16 and 17, in Islington on 27 February, and died in hospital the next day.
Rivero, who has been described as a “much-loved family man”, was near a bus stop on Seven Sisters Road when the girls got off a bus and surrounded him. His glasses were stolen, and he was pushed, shoved, kicked and punched while one of the teenagers filmed the incident on her phone.
Police received reports of the attack at 11.25pm and on arrival found Rivero unconscious with a severe head injury and in cardiac arrest.
