Killed by a Mob of Kids

Ernest Norton was playing cricket with his 17-year-old son in Kent, England, when a group of 15 youths gathered at the fence around the outdoor tennis courts and began shouting abuse.  The verbal abuse grew worse and the group began throwing stones and pieces of wood until one stone hit the side of his face and Norton collapsed and suffered a major heart attack.

Father died after being pelted by young mob.

One 12-year-old, two 13-year-olds and two 14-year-olds are now on trial.
