Tragedy in Leicester: 12-Year-Old Girl Charged in Manslaughter of 80-Year-Old Indian-Origin Man
The tragic death of 80-year-old Bhim Sen Kohli has shaken Leicester and beyond, as a 12-year-old girl is now the second person charged in connection with the fatal assault. Mr. Kohli, a beloved father, grandfather, and husband, succumbed to a neck injury in September after being attacked while walking his dog in Franklin Park, Braunstone Town.
The girl appeared at Leicester Youth Court charged with manslaughter, while a 15-year-old boy remains in custody, charged with Mr. Kohli’s murder. This case has raised significant concerns about youth involvement in violent crime, particularly as five children aged 12-14 were initially arrested in connection with the incident.
The Kohli family’s statement described their loss as devastating, emphasizing Mr. Kohli’s love for his family, particularly his grandchildren. His death has deeply affected not only his loved ones but also the local community, leaving many grappling with the senselessness of such violence.
A post-mortem confirmed the cause of death as a neck injury, but further investigations are ongoing. While the case proceeds, authorities have restricted additional details to avoid prejudicing the trial. Detective Inspector Emma Matts of Leicestershire Police emphasized the tragedy of the incident and its impact on the community.
This heartbreaking case highlights the need to address youth crime, foster community safety, and support families dealing with such irreparable losses.
