Two more young men face life sentences after being found guilty of murdering 16-year-old Rhamero West

Two more young men face life sentences after being found guilty of murdering a teenage boy. Ryan Cashin, 19, was previously found guilty of murdering 16-year-old Rhamero West after stabbing him to death in Old Trafford.

Now a jury has also convicted 20-year-old Giovanni Lawrence and a 17-year-old boy, who can't be named for legal reasons, of murder under the joint enterprise law. Prosecutors did not allege that they attacked Rhamero, but said the 17-year-old had ran at Rhamero with a knife prior to the killing, and Lawrence was alleged to be driving a stolen BMW which pursued Rhamero.

The joint enterprise law allows those deemed to have 'assisted or encouraged' an offence to be convicted. Xavaiour Wynter, 18, also alleged to be a driver of pursuing stolen BMW, was found not guilty and discharged from the dock.

The verdicts came after a month long trial at Manchester Crown Court. Cashin was found guilty on Friday, and jurors convicted Lawrence and the 17-year-old by a majority verdict on Monday afternoon.

There were emotional scenes in the public gallery as the verdicts were announced. Cashin, Lawrence and the 17-year-old are due to be sentenced next month.

Prosecutors were not able to point to a motive for the brutal killing but said Rhamero, a nephew of ex Man-City star Shaun Wright-Phillips, was relentlessly hunted down before being murdered. Rhamero was driving a stolen BMW and was with friends on the Princess Parkway on September 9 last year, when he was spotted.

The 17-year-old defendant got out of one of the two stolen BMWs while Rhamero's car was stationary in traffic,
