A 15-year-old boy and 13-year-old girl have been convicted of the manslaughter of 80-year-old Bhim Kohli, who was fatally attacked at a park in Leicestershire.
Leicester Crown Court heard that during the “intense attack”, the boy racially abused Mr Kohli and slapped him in the face with a slider shoe while he was on his knees, while the girl encouraged the violence and filmed it on her phone while laughing.
Mr Kohli died the day after the attack, which occurred yards from his home while he was walking his dog Rocky in Braunstone Town, Leicestershire, on 1 September.
The boy was charged with murder and manslaughter, but was acquitted of the more serious charge on Tuesday.
Neither defendant can be named because of their ages.
The boy was remanded in custody, while the girl was released on conditional bail.
They will be sentenced on 19 and 20 May.
