A 15-year-old girl has admitted filming the death of a man on her mobile phone in a so-called "happy slapping" attack.
She pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting manslaughter at Leeds Crown Court after filming the attack on Gavin Waterhouse last September.
Mr Waterhouse, 29, from Keighley, later died from a ruptured spleen.
The Crown Prosecution Service said the decision to prosecute the girl was a legal landmark. Mark Masters, 19, and a male, 17, have admitted manslaughter.
