Amelia Stephenson, 15, from Benfleet was at Thorney Bay Beach, Canvey, last Saturday night with friends when the gang attacked her, knocking her unconscious at about 9.30pm.
There were about 10 people in the gang and Amelia was punched at least seven times.
Emergency services went to the scene and Amelia was taken to Southend Hospital.Hmm, Thorney Bay. A place I wouldn't go in broad daylight without a squad of Marines.
“Amelia also suffers with Asperger Syndrome and has a help dog.”Sadly, not a Rottweiler!
“She left hospital at about 3am on Sunday morning. It was a completely unproved attack.”Errr, I think that should have read 'unprovoked'..
Claire said she feels hurt for her daughter following the attack on the island beach. She said: “Another girl complimented her on what she was wearing and while talking to Amelia the others attacked her.
“Amelia was face down on the ground and they were still hitting her.
“When I got to the beach, there were about three police cars and paramedics.
“She suffers with anxiety and this will make it worse.
“Police acted so quickly and made an arrest the same night.”Really? Amazing.
Wait, one arrest?
Police have arrested a a 14-year-old boy from Canvey on suspicion of wounding without intent and common assault. He has been released on bail until July 25.What about the other 9?
What about the other 9? Yes of course Julia M, from your police expertise of watching The Bill avidly, I expect you think all ten will be arrested in an hour and then the whole relief go down the pub to celebrate.
ReplyDeletePerhaps they weren't wearing T shirts with their names and addresses on?
Jaded.
In cases like this where one perp is apprehended and a multitude have got away, the one nicked should be told that if he doesn't identify his gang of thugs, he will also serve their sentences: individually and consecutively, If this little scrote gets two years, then he also has to serve the same for the other nine. Total porridge - twenty years but with no parole, good behaviour time off, or anything like that until he's identified and testified against the others.
ReplyDelete"...I expect you think all ten will be arrested in an hour ..."
ReplyDeleteYou think they don't know exactly who they all are?
"... the one nicked should be told that if he doesn't identify his gang of thugs, he will also serve their sentences..."
Capital idea!
I've no idea Julia. I wasn't there and neither were you. You are just taking a cheap shop at the police as usual. The Huddersfield half-wit will be along soon to put us all straight. He witnesses everything.
