Three girls aged 14, 16 and 17 appeared at the Old Bailey today where they pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
The court previously heard Fredi was stood near a bus stop when the teens got off a bus and surrounded him.
They initially walked away before returning to push and shove the elderly man.
The teens then began punching and kicking Fredi, the court heard.
One of the schoolgirls record the alleged attack on her mobile as the OAP fell over.
Fredi was rushed to hospital after the alleged assault but died the following day.
The girls were initially arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm but the charge was changed following his death.
A post mortem to establish a cause of death will be carried out in due course.
Police previously said Fredi was thought to be a Bolivian national and released a CCTV image of him from the evening of the attack.
Detective Inspector Devan Taylor from Specialist Crime North added: “Fredi Rivero was a much loved father, whose family are devastated by his death. I also know his death has also shocked this tight-knit community.
“Three girls have been charged in connection with this investigation and we continue at pace with our enquiries.
“If you remember seeing Fredi or have any information which could support with the investigation, please contact us.”
