BBC NEWS | UK | England | Lancashire | Goth clothes ‘prompted killing’

A 15-year-old boy kicked and stamped to death a woman because she was dressed as a Goth, a court heard.
The drunk teenager was among a gang of five who “savagely and mercilessly” attacked Sophie Lancaster, 20, and her boyfriend, Preston Crown Court heard. Miss Lancaster was begging the gang to stop beating Robert Maltby, 21, when they turned on her in Stubbylee Park in Bacup, Lancashire, the jury was told. The 15-year-old, who cannot be named because of his age, denies murder. The court heard Miss Lancaster’s facial injuries were so severe, paramedics did not know what sex she was.

WOW! That right there should spell death sentence for all of them.
