A 17-year-old boy has been detained for eight years for the
killing of a pensioner during the London riots.
Darrell Desuze, of Bath Road, Hounslow, pleaded guilty at Inner London
Crown Court last month to the manslaughter of Richard Mannington Bowes.
Mr Bowes, 68, was punched and fell to the ground as he tried to stamp
out a fire in Spring Bridge Road in Ealing, west London, on 8 August.
He suffered brain damage when his head hit the pavement.
Desuze's mother Lavinia Desuze, 31, was jailed for 18 months at the
same court for perverting the course of justice.
In a victim impact statement read out in court, the estranged sister of Mr Bowes,
Anne Wilderspin,
said she was
"completely devastated to have found and lost her brother again in the same day".
She said Darrell Desuze had committed a "terrible crime" but added "I do forgive him".
