Phone movie of dying boy

A Teenager who died of head injuries after being punched was filmed on a mobile phone with blood bubbling from his mouth as he lay in the street, his distraught mother has disclosed. The Times reports.

"Siobhan Christmas, whose son Triston was attacked in February, said she was appalled to discover that the video was being passed round on computers and mobile phones.

The pictures were taken by a youth as Mr Christmas, 18, lay on the ground after being punched and banging his head on concrete. He died from a brain haemorrhage six days after being taken to hospital.

..."Mrs Christmas was deeply distressed that anyone might have passed on pictures of her injured son for kicks."
