In a disturbing case that has shocked the local community, three teenage girls have been convicted for a vicious assault on a mother that occurred outside a school in Bury, Greater Manchester.
The Brutal Confrontation
The court heard how the victim, a local mother, was surrounded and subjected to a sustained physical attack by the trio of girls. The assault left the woman with significant injuries, including bruising and swelling, requiring medical attention following the traumatic incident.
Justice Served
During proceedings at Bury and Rochdale Youth Court, all three defendants pleaded guilty to assault by beating. The girls, whose identities remain protected due to their age, now face sentencing for their actions in what the prosecution described as a serious and unprovoked attack.
Community Impact
The location of the assault - near a school - has raised particular concerns among local residents and parents. The case highlights growing worries about youth violence in community spaces where children and families should feel safe.
Sentencing for the three girls has been adjourned to allow for pre-sentence reports to be prepared. The court will determine appropriate consequences for the assault that has left both physical and emotional scars on the victim.
