Three teens convicted for killing man with rocks

Three teens convicted for killing man with rocks

Two youths were convicted of manslaughter, joining a third who admitted the charge regarding Alexander Cashford’s death in Kent. The group lured the 49-year-old to a sea wall and assaulted him with stones because they believed he was a paedophile. Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb stated these verdicts would change their lives forever, and the trio will receive their sentences in April.
