Teen girls dropped TV on murder victim, Leeds Crown Court told

Two girls aged 13 and 14 dropped a television on a frail woman as they “forcibly restrained” her while battering and torturing her to death, a court has heard.

Angela Wrightson, 39, was found dead in her blood-spattered living room by her landlord in December 2014, having suffered “well in excess of 103” injuries, including 80 to her face.

The two girls, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were said to have used a variety of weapons in the “sustained and brutal” assault on the victim, who was 5ft 4in and weighed six and a half stone.
