Three British Teens Sentenced for Murder of Homeless Man
Two brothers and their friend will serve minimum sentences ranging from six to 12 years
Three teenagers who murdered a homeless man in Liverpool for a dare have been given custodial sentences.
Liverpool Crown Court heard Kevin Bennett, 53, was attacked as he slept outside a supermarket on 17 August.
He suffered a fractured eye socket, a collapsed lung and a broken ribcage and died in hospital six days later.
Brothers Connor and Brandon Doran, aged 17 and 14, and Simon Evans, 14, were told they would be detained until the home secretary approved their release.
