What led to a teen killing an elderly dog walker

Contains graphic violent scenes and scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.

Available for over a year

The brutal killing of an elderly man, carried out by a racially abusive 14-year-old boy with a thirst for social media notoriety. This is the assessment of Leicestershire Police Det Ch Insp Mark Sinski, who led the investigation into a teenager's fatal attack on 80-year-old Bhim Kohli, who was walking his dog Rocky at a park in Leicestershire in September 2024. On Tuesday, the young killer, now 15 - who cannot be named due to his age - was found guilty of manslaughter, while a younger female friend who cheered him on and filmed parts of the attack on her phone was convicted of the same offence. Det Ch Insp Sinski told to 麻豆社 Leicester that the violence and racist abuse inflicted on Mr Kohli at Franklin Park in Braunstone Town had been completely unprovoked.
