The young defendant, whose identity is protected due to legal age restrictions, stood trial at Brighton Crown Court, where a jury delivered a unanimous verdict, finding him guilty of murder. The court also found him guilty of a separate charge where he threatened another Southwick man, Stephen Slark, with a machete outside Portslade station months before the fatal stabbing. However, he was acquitted of allegations that he had threatened Mr. Slark with a hammer in a different incident.
