Sudanese youth in detention for attack on policeman

June 19, 2008
THE only member of a gang of Sudanese youths identified over a vicious attack on a policeman has been sentenced to a year in a juvenile detention centre.

Dandenong Sen-Det Scott D'Rozario was king-hit and repeatedly punched and kicked after responding to a call that youths were drinking at the wake of a Sudanese-born youth bashed to death in Noble Park a week earlier.

Racial tensions had increased around Dandenong after the fatal bashing of Liep Gony, 18, at Noble Park in October last year.
