A 15-year-old boy has been jailed for seven years and a 13-year-old girl has escaped a custodial sentence.
Earlier this year they were found guilty of manslaughter following the death of an 80-year-old.
In September last year, Bhim Kohli was found injured in a Leicester park after being seriously assaulted while he was walking his dog.
He died in hospital from his injuries on September 2, the day after he was attacked.
According to BBC News, Leicester Crown Court heard that the boy racially abused Bhim Kohli before slapping him in the face while the girl filmed the incident on her phone and laughed.
Mr Kohli died the following day which took place just yards from his home.
Kohli was attacked at Franklin Park in Braunstone Town while walking his dog on September 1.
According to Leicestershire Police, the attack occurred near the park's Bramble Way entrance at around 6:30pm.
Five children had previously been arrested on suspicion of the grandfather's murder.
A post-mortem examination found he died of "serious neck injuries."
The family of Bhim Kohli have said that they have 'no sympathy' for the children who killed their loved one.
His daughter Susan, who found her father after the attack, said that it is hard to find forgiveness for the killers.
