Boys get two years for killing man, 67

FIVE boys aged 12 to 14 were locked up for two years each yesterday for killing a pensioner as he played cricket with his teenage son.

Ernest Norton, 67, came under a hail of sticks and stones as he and son James practiced bowling in February last year at Erith leisure centre in Kent, England.

Two stones, one the size of half a brick, struck the father of two on the temple and fractured his cheekbone, and he collapsed to the ground with a heart attack.
