Clockwork Orange-style Gang Sentenced for "Happy Slapping" Spree

A group of youths who took pleasure in inflicting pain and killing a bar manager during a "happy slapping" spree were sentenced to lengthy jail terms. The gang, which included a 14-year-old girl who filmed part of the attack on her mobile phone, was convicted of killing David Morley, a survivor of the Soho nail bombing. The gang's attacks, which took place within an hour, left eight unsuspecting victims seriously injured.

Key Takeaways:

• Chelsea O'Mahoney, a 16-year-old girl, was sentenced to 8 years for David Morley's manslaughter, having filmed part of the attack on her mobile phone and kicked his head like a football.
• Reece Sargeant, 21, Darren Case, 18, and David Blenman, 17, were each jailed for 12 years for their roles in the killing.
• The gang's attacks, which were described as an "orgy" of violence, took place within an hour around Waterloo and Hungerford Bridge, leaving eight victims seriously injured.
• The Common Serjeant of London, Brian Barker, condemned the gang's actions, saying that "no victim on the receiving end would dignify" their behavior with the term "happy slapping."
• The gang, who were all from Kennington, south London, will have to serve at least two-thirds of their sentences, which will range from 5 to 8 years.

• 8: The number of unsuspecting victims who were assaulted by the gang during their "happy slapping" spree.
