A string of men and boys have been hauled to Manchester Magistrates' Court this week, with 16 so far admitting their crimes following the ugly scenes in Manchester city centre; disorder outside a hotel in Newton Heath; and trouble in Bolton. More defendants appeared before District Judge Lucy Hogarth today.
Two more thugs have admitted their involvement in a sickening mob attack on a black man during violent scenes in Piccadilly Gardens after 'protesters' flooded into Manchester city centre. A teenager has also pleaded guilty to violent disorder having being accused of confronting cops trying to control crowds, breaking through a barrier and snatching beer from someone leaving a Sainsbury's store.
As Kelly and Hanslip appeared in court, prosecutor Karen Saffman said members of the mob shouted 'kill him' and 'stamp on his f*****g face'. District Judge Hogarth described the incident as a 'racially aggravated assault'. No application for bail was made for Kelly, who has no previous convictions. His family members were in the courtroom when the judge ruled he would be remanded into custody.
He was then seen with a man snatching a pack of beer from someone leaving a nearby branch of Sainsbury's. Karen Saffman, prosecuting, told the court, adding: "He was an active part on this day. He wasn't just a by-stander - he wasn't just observing." Davy must also not gather in a group of more than two without an adult family member there. The judge warned Davy he may be arrested if he breaches any of these conditions and put in a cell overnight. She also told the teenager that he may receive a custodial sentence.
