Teen jailed for 'disturbing, despicable" attack on man who later died
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: CCTV footage shown to the court showed Henney pushing Mr Palmer back into the shop with the front wheel of his bike, before he punched him repeatedly to the head, dragged him outside the shop and kicked him as he lay on the ground. "It is without doubt disturbing viewing, demonstrating a thuggish brutality against a defenceless young man," Judge Elma Sheahan said of the CCTV footage as she sentenced Henney today. She handed down a two-year sentence but suspended the final six months on a number of conditions.
