The daughter of a pensioner who was racially abused, hit with a shoe and filmed being attacked when he was killed by two teenagers said she was “angry and disappointed”, saying the sentences did not reflect the crime.

A 15-year-old boy and 13-year-old girl, who cannot be named because of their ages, were sentenced at Leicester Crown Court on Thursday for the manslaughter of Bhim Kohli, aged 80, who was the victim of a “wicked” attack near his home in Franklin Park, Braunstone Town, near Leicester, on September 1 last year.
