Sentence of Teenager Who Killed Dog Walker Bhim Kohli Unchanged
The Court of Appeal confirmed a significant manslaughter sentence after a 15-year-old attacked an 80-year-old man with racial abuse and violence, causing fatal injuries.
- The Court of Appeal in London on Wednesday rejected the bid to change the manslaughter sentence of a 15-year-old boy, ruling it was neither unduly lenient nor manifestly excessive.
- In June, the boy was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to seven years’ custody, with the Solicitor General Lucy Rigby referring his case under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.
- In Franklin Park in Braunstone Town, near Leicester, the boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, punched, kicked, and racially abused Bhim Kohli, leaving him with multiple fractures.
- Lady Justice Macur offered condolences to Kohli’s family, saying 'the sentence was a very significant sentence and necessarily so,' while Lucy Rigby expressed respect for the court's decision.
- Det Ch Insp Sinski said the boy had Snapchat accounts under two names boasting of punching power and disguise, with videos filmed and laughed at by a girl on her phone.
