A jury has been shown the moment an electrician was allegedly attacked with a glass bottle by three teenagers on the Isle of Sheppey. Alexander Cashford, 49, from Kent, was found with fatal injuries in Leysdown-on-Sea on 10 August.
A 16-year-old girl and two boys, aged 15 and 16, who cannot be named for legal reasons, are on trial at Woolwich Crown Court for his murder, which they deny. The court heard that the accused teenage girl shouted “f****** paedophile, I’m f****** 16, get him” as she filmed the attack.
The prosecution alleges that the trio attacked Cashford with a glass bottle, leading to his death. The trial continues.
