Burwash man guilty of sparking racist attack

By ccromie

A Burwash man's racist taunts led to the death of a 16-year-old Arab student.

Paul Rockett, 21, was found guilty of racially aggravated common assault, which sparked the fatal brawl outside a kebab shop on Hastings seafront last year.

Qatari youngster Mohammed al-Majed was punched to the pavement where he hit his head. He died two days later.
