Sandhu said the boy later told a friend “he could not stop kicking” Kohli, and told another: “I’ve killed an 80-year-old man or put him in intensive care.” He was arrested the following day from his home address where he was found hiding in a bush after telling his mother he was going on the run.
The boy, now 15, is accused of repeatedly hitting and kicking Kohli, including taking off one of his shoes and using it to hit Kohli while he was on the ground, and is on trial for murder and manslaughter.
Bhim Kohli died on 2 September last year, the day after he was allegedly assaulted by a balaclava-clad 14-year-old boy in Franklin Park, in the Braunstone Town area of Leicester, while walking his dog near his home.
The court heard that a CCTV camera recorded the boy saying that Kohli had “whacked his head off a log”, while the girl could be heard saying: “I know, I saw that.
The teenage girl stayed and recorded parts of the attack on her phone, with the footage showing the boy using a black slider sandal he had removed from his foot to slap Kohli in the face while she laughed.
