A SCHOOLBOY who stoned a man to death with two other teens bragged “we f***ed paedo” up after filming the attack, a court heard.
The 16-year-old and another boy aged 15 and 16-year-old girl first met Alexander Cashford by chance on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent.
Jurors heard the 49-year-old gave the girl his phone number and the teens sent him messages using the fake name Sienna.
Alexander, who claimed to be 30, claimed to be 30, asked her if she liked champagne and said he wanted to kiss her.
The trio then allegedly arranged to meet him by the sea wall on August 10 at around 7pm.
Just 68 minutes after meeting them, Alexander was pronounced dead, Woolwich Crown Court heard.
Prosecutor Kate Blumgart KC said the two boys followed Alexander and the girl as they walked along the promenade before the 16-year-old boy hit him on the back of the head with a bottle.
The girl shouted “f****** paedophile, I’m f****** 16, get him” as she filmed the attack.
After he was arrested, the 16-year-old boy allegedly shared footage of the attack with three people, with the caption: “f***** pedo (sic) up lol”.
Ms Blumgart said: “These three defendants did happen by chance to meet Mr Cashford.
“What happened thereafter, however, was not by chance.
“They were so outraged by his interest in ‘Sienna’ that they deliberately planned to attack him.
“This was a joint attack with each of them playing a vital part.”
The court heard one witness saw the 16-year-old boy hurling rocks towards Alexander – describing the first throw as “like a lob”, “frantic” and with “a lot of power around it”.
Ms Blumgart said: “He was later seen by witnesses throwing large rocks at Mr Cashford’s already seemingly lifeless body and head.
“This at the tail end of a vicious onslaught.”
The girl showed “unwavering enthusiasm for the venture” that could be heard in her “shrieks” as she recorded the attack, the court was told.
The footage was “undoubtedly planned to be evidence of their own successful hunt”, Ms Blumgart said.
Officers scrambled to the beach found Alexander lying face up around 50m from the path on an uneven rubble surface.
A post-mortem showed he had injuries to his face and head, bruises on his limbs and body and a number of fractured ribs that had punctured his lung.
The three defendants each deny one count of murder and the trial continues.
