Wed Apr 09 03:27:47 UTC 2025: ## Teenagers Found Guilty of Manslaughter in Brutal Park Attack
**Leicester, England –** A 14-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl were found guilty of manslaughter on Tuesday in connection with the death of 80-year-old Bhim Sen Kohli. Kohli, a beloved husband, father, and grandfather, was brutally attacked while walking his dog in a Leicester park last September.
The attack, described as unprovoked, was filmed by the girl, who also reportedly encouraged the assault. The court heard that the boy was the principal offender, delivering the fatal blows. While the girl’s involvement was deemed to contribute to the attack, the prosecution lacked sufficient evidence to prove she foresaw the deadly outcome. Both teenagers, who cannot be named due to their age, will be sentenced next month.
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Sinski of the East Midlands Special Operations Unit stated that Kohli was simply enjoying an evening stroll when he was confronted and violently assaulted, leaving him to die from his injuries. The incident has deeply impacted the Leicester community.
Susan Kohli, the victim’s daughter, delivered a heartbreaking statement, detailing the horrific attack captured on video. The footage showed her father being struck repeatedly, with the girl laughing in the background. The family is devastated by the loss and the callous nature of the attack. The statement highlights the lasting trauma of hearing the sounds of the assault and her father’s desperate cries for help, all captured on the girl’s phone.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) used a combination of video evidence, witness testimony, and a letter written by the boy admitting his actions to secure the convictions. The CPS argued that both teenagers were criminally responsible under the principle of joint enterprise, each playing a different role in the tragic events. The case has underscored the devastating consequences of youth violence and the complexities involved in prosecuting underage offenders.
