Moment man, 49, is attacked with bottles by teens shouting 'paedo' minutes before he was 'beaten to death'

Alexander Cashford was lured to the seaside resort of the Isle of Sheppey by two boys aged 16 and 15, and a 16-year-old girl, a court was told.

Mr Cashford, 49, was then beaten to death with rocks during the incident on August 10 last year.

The three teens, who travelled to the destination from London, all deny murder and are being tried at Woolwich Crown Court.

Video footage, allegedly taken from the girl's mobile phone, shows a man in a grey t-shirt and black trousers, believed to be the victim, looking away from the camera.

One youth then strikes him on the back of the head with a glass bottle before lunging at him again.

A female's voice can be heard shouting: "f*****g paedophile, I'm f*****g sixteen."

The boy in the video also calls him a "f*****g paedo."

The man then runs away down the path as two teenagers race after him.

Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb told jurors: "The prosecution say the evidence shows the three co-defendants are guilty of murder, not manslaughter.

"The prosecution case is that all three defendants were acting together, with each of them sharing at least the intent to cause really serious bodily injury to Mr Cashford if the circumstances arose."

The court was told that the attack unfolded two days after Alexander gave the teenage girl his number on a business card after meeting her by chance.

The 16-year-old boy then allegedly saved the number in his phone as "pedo," and the trio exchanged around 75 messages with him, posing as a girl called "Sienna."

Prosecutor Kate Blumgart KC said Mr Cashford claimed to be 30 and told the girl he wanted to kiss her.

Ms Blumgart said the group then asked him to come to her parents' house with alcohol.

The victim died just over an hour after he met the girl and prosecutors claim the 16-year-old boy allegedly shared footage of the attack with three people, with the caption: "f***** pedo (sic) up lol."

Ms Blumgart said: "They were so outraged by his interest in ‘Sienna’ that they deliberately planned to attack him."

A post-mortem carried out after the attack showed Mr Cashford had injuries to his face and head, bruises on his limbs and body and a number of fractured ribs that had punctured his lung.

The 16-year-old boy has already admitted the lesser charge of manslaughter, and all three defendants cannot be identified due to their age.

The trial continues.
