Life terms for teenagers who kicked man to death are too low and should be appealed as unduly lenient, man dies after 5 weeks in coma












Dear All

The murderers of Nachhatar Singh Bola who was visiting Scotland from India have been sentenced for their crime.

Teenagers Dillon Cherrie, 16, Dean Logan, then 15, and Stewart Patterson, then 19 have been given life sentences for their unprovoked attack on a stranger.

In this case, I would like to see an appeal against the leniency of the sentences.

Dillion Cherrie, of Victoria Drive East, Renfrew is ordered to serve at least nine years before he can apply for parole.

Dean Logan of Bardrainney Avenue, Port Glasgow, is ordered to serve a minimum of nine years.

And Stewart Patterson was told he cannot apply for parole until he has served 10½years and an extra 4½months because he had been released on bail only the previous day after being in court on a weapons charge.

These sentences are too light.

Given the nature of their crime, these little bastards should be sentenced to prison and only released on the wrong side of 40.

They have destroyed Nachhatar Singh Bola’s family because they were high on drink and drugs.

After he was attacked Mr. Bola was taken to the General Hospital, Glasgow, he died five weeks later from pneumonia and multiple organ failure.

Visa difficulties meant his wife Baljinder Kaur arrived in Scotland too late to see him before he died.

As she left the High Court in Edinburgh, the tearful widow, 36, said:

“Those boys are probably sitting back thinking about their sentences and the rest of their lives. They probably have no understanding how they have destroyed my life and my family’s lives.”

She added:

“My kids will never see their father again. The families of those boys will see theirs again.”

The couple have a daughter, Manreet, 4, and a son Saranpreet, 8.

Judge Lady Dorrian said:

“You engaged in a vicious, sustained, mindless and unprovoked attack on a passing stranger.”

And the sentences don’t reflect that, she should have been saying something along the lines of, ‘You are hereby sentenced to 30 years.’

This is one case where Team Angiolini should get up off their doughy arses and start the paperwork for an appeal against sentence as being duly lenient.

Nachhatar Singh Bola is entitled to justice and his family should have our full support so they get it.

Yours sincerely
