A teenager accused of murdering an 80-year-old man in a park by punching and kicking him, used “gratuitous” and “intense” violence before leaving his victim for dead, the prosecution at his trial have claimed.
The 15-year-old boy, who cannot be named because of his age, denies murder and an alternative count of manslaughter in relation to the death of Bhim Kohli, who died in hospital a day after suffering fractured ribs and a broken neck.
