TWO teenagers left a victim with a fractured skull and a bleed on the brain after he was kicked in the head.

Mark Tsvetanov, 18, and a 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, both admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm without intent at Colchester Magistrates’ Court.

The assault in Colchester in January left the victim with the serious injuries.

Tsvetanov, of East Stockwell Street, has a previous conviction for possession of an offensive weapon after being caught with a three inch blade on a train.

He will be sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court on January 6.

The boy, who is from the Manningtree area, will be sentenced at Chelmsford Youth Court on January 3.
