00:00The Ely riots back in May 2023 was a dark time for the area, with thousands of pounds
00:07worth of damaged cars, cars destroyed, police and civilians injured and fear among locals.
00:13They all started after two teenagers, 16-year-old Kyrie Sullivan and 15-year-old Harvey Evans
00:18were killed minutes after CCTV footage captured the pair being chased by a police vehicle.
00:25Rioting started soon after, and well over a year after the incident, a woman has now
00:28pled guilty to her part in the riots.
00:3153-year-old Janine Raffel has been sentenced to an 18-month community order and told to
00:36pay £744 after damaging a police car.
00:41After being told that she said she hoped police officers burnt to death and needed to be put
00:45down, her defence barrister said she was mortified by her language and is deeply remorseful over
00:50her actions.
00:52District Judge Stephen Harms said although it was an emotional day for the area, it did
00:55not excuse any of her behaviour.
