A teenager has been convicted of murder after stabbing a boy with a combat knife outside a shopping centre. The 17-year-old from Bolton, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was found guilty of murdering 18-year-old Abdikarim Abdalla Ahmed in Bury by a jury, who returned a majority verdict of 10-2.
The trial heard the defendant stabbed Mr Ahmed, described as a 'loving' and 'caring' person, once in the chest outside the Mill Gate shopping centre on the afternoon of Friday, March 11.
He claimed he acted in self defence after Mr Ahmed threw a punch. The jury rejected those claims. The boy now faces a sentence of detention under Her Majesty's Pleasure, the equivalent of a life sentence for criminals under the age of 18.
He is due to be sentenced in October, although a date has not yet been set. READ MORE:Knifeman stabbed wife 27 times in the neck in front of their horrified young children Minshull Street Crown Court heard Mr Ahmed was stabbed with 'severe' force.
