Two teenagers, Nathan Otitodilchukwu and a 16-year-old, were sentenced for the manslaughter of 76-year-old Robert Price, whose home was attacked with a firework. The incident stemmed from ongoing harassment towards Mr. Price, culminating in a reckless act that resulted in his death. Judge Rebecca Trowler acknowledged the older defendant's poor impulse control, while noting the younger defendant showed signs of remorse. Prosecutor Catherine Farrelly described the tragic event, highlighting the impact of the attack on Mr. Price's once peaceful life. The sentences reflect the grave nature of the crime and the loss of life involved.
"Robert Price was killed in a fire which was started at his home address by the two defendants who smashed a window at his property and threw a firework inside."
"Mr Price lost his life in circumstances of a planned attack where I am sure you intended some harm, and in any event it was highly reckless as to the risk of harm."
