Tyler Fielding, 16, detained for attempted murder

Tyler Fielding Tyler Fielding claimed Mr King had insulted his girlfriend
A 16-year-old Cornish boy who stamped and jumped on a man's head in a shop has been detained for 11 years.
Tyler Fielding, of Tolcarne Street, Camborne, who was 15 at the time of the attack in May 2011, was found guilty of attempted murder at a previous hearing.
Fielding had claimed Victor King, 51, had insulted his girlfriend in the shop in Fore Street, Redruth.
Mr King suffered a fractured jaw, eye sockets and facial bones, Truro Crown Court had heard.
He also suffered fractures of the voice box which would have caused him to choke to death had he not received a tracheotomy.
Judge Christopher Elwen removed reporting restrictions, allowing Fielding to be named.
In a statement after the teenager was convicted last month, Mr King said: "I am disgusted at what has happened to me.
"I did not deserve it. My life will never be the same again."
