85-year-old Paula Castle died of head injuries
15-year-old muggers sentenced to just 6 years.
Cowardly Jiervon Bartlett and Nayed Hoque, both 15, left partially-sighted Paula Castle bleeding and crying in pain after snatching her bag and pushing her over in an alley.
She died of head injuries the next day and CCTV footage showed the smirking pair using her bank cards to buy the takeaway and top-up a mobile phone.
The vile duo struck again a day later robbing Rose Mohamed, 75, of her bag and ?120 used for mobile top-ups. Bartlett also bought trainers.
The last pictures of Paula were captured on CCTV as she left Tesco just before the attack in Greenford, West London, in November.
And yesterday her grieving family said they were shocked at the thugs,incredibly short sentences after they were jailed for six years.
Dad-of-two Bartlett, of Northolt, West London, and Hoque, of Mile End, East London, admitted manslaughter at the Old Bailey.
All for pizza what scum...............

Paulas daughter-in-law Jane called the pairs crime heinous adding im glad its come to an end, but six years seems an incredibly short time for what theyve done.
Theyve repeatedly committed crimes, some violent, and theyve targeted the vulnerable, elderly and disabled.

They didnt have much remorse because they went out and mugged another lady the next day, and they knew my mother-in-law was in hospital.
;Her grandchildren are very shocked and upset, obviously. Two of them are the same age as those who committed the crime, so thats a real shock in itself.
The punishment doesnt coincide with the crime, really.
Mr Justice Fulford said of widow Paula.She showed real bravery in dealing with life, in stark contrast to your cowardly behaviour.
These were cruel offences. I am sure you pose a very high risk to the public.
He lifted an anonymity order owing to the severity of the crime.
Both had robbed before and were already in a secure care home, the court was told.................
