The Telegraph reports that the recent killing of this poor 17 year old chap might have been filmed, ‘happy-slap-style’, on a mobile phone — and that it’s been texted around. Setting aside the actual violence, it’s absolutely abhorrent that someone might also have been standing by, watching, with their cameraphone on record.
Two boys aged 12 and 13 are among six people being held by on suspicion of killing Amar Aslam, 17, in a “sustained and brutal attack”.
Detectives are trying to trace video footage of the incident which is reported to have also have been texted to another phone.
Amar is believed to have been set upon by muggers as he walked through a walled garden in Crow Nest Park, Dewsbury, West Yorkshire on Sunday. The park, popular with local families, was busy with visitors on a busy bank holiday afternoon.
