Teens Plead Guilty To Wrapper Row Killing
Two teenagers have pleaded guilty to killing a man in a row over a chocolate bar wrapper.
Evren Anil, 23, from Upper Norwood, southeast London, died after confronting the boys over a wrapper which was thrown his car window in Crystal Palace, southeast London, last August.
Mr Anil was threatened with a knife during the confrontation and was punched to the ground. He hit his head on the pavement and suffered serious head injuries, which left him in a coma. He died eight days after the attack.
His older sister, 26-year-old Elif, was also in the car when the attack took place.
The two teenagers, aged 16 and 17, both pleaded guilty to manslaughter. The 16-year-old, from Thornton Heath in southeast London, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and knife possession at the Old Bailey on Monday, while his 17-year-old co-defendant admitted the same two charges today.
Reporting restrictions meant that the 16-year-old's plea could only be reported after the other boy's plea had been heard.
They have been remanded in custody and are due to be sentenced on April 4.
