(Reuters) - A 12-year-old boy who sent racist messages to Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha was "extremely remorseful" and underwent education sessions as part of a restorative justice process, police have said.
Zaha was subjected to racist abuse on social media ahead of Palace's game against Aston Villa in July. He shared images of the messages he received, including one of members of the white supremacist organisation the Ku Klux Klan, and a 12-year-old boy from Solihull was arrested.
