Three teenage girls have admitted killing a 75-year-old man in London.

Fredi Rivero was found injured on Seven Sisters Road in Islington last Thursday.

He was taken to hospital but died on Friday morning.

Three teenage girls aged 14, 16 and 17, who cannot be named because of their age, have pleaded guilty to manslaughter at the Old Bailey.

They will appear at Highbury magistrates court on Monday.

Fredi was near a bus stop when the teenagers got off a bus and surrounded him. The Bolivian national was pushed, shoved, kicked and punched.

One of the girls filmed the attack on her mobile phone and grabbed his glasses.

CCTV footage caught the moment the oldest girl punched the victim in the head, which made him fall over backwards..

When police arrived at the scene Fredi had suffered a serious head injury and was in cardiac arrest.

He died at Royal London Hospital the next day.

The three girls appeared from custody via video link before Judge Judy Khan KC.

She remanded the defendants into custody and they will be sentenced on September 5.

Fredi’s daughter, ex-wife and cousins attended the court hearing. He had previously been described as a ‘much loved father’ and his family were said to be ‘devastated by his death’.
