Keon Lincoln, 15, was shot in the stomach then repeatedly knifed while on the ground in Handsworth, West Midlands, in broad daylight in January.

The 14-year-old, from Birmingham, who cannot be named because of his age, stood with his hands clasped and showed little emotion as he was unanimously convicted.

A 16-year-old, from Walsall, whose identity is also protected by a court order, was found guilty of murder after being caught on CCTV armed with a large knife.

Tahjgeem Breakenridge, 18, from Balsall Heath, and Michael Ugochukwu, 18, of Edgbaston, were also found guilty of murder after 15 hours and 50 minutes of deliberations.
