Boy A and Boy B will be sentenced in June
Two teenage boys have been found guilty of murder after a 14-year-old was stabbed to death in Harpurhey . Nathaniel Shani died after being knifed to the neck in an alleyway.
The pair will be sentenced in June. The jury reached their verdicts after about 20 hours of deliberations. Both boys wept in the dock after the verdicts were announced. There were also tears from the public gallery and some members of the jury appeared visibly emotional. The trial heard that Nathaniel died following a row over cannabis being stolen. Nathaniel and Boy A had met in an alleyway off Tavistock Square as part of a ‘fight to settle differences’, the court heard.
Mr Pitter said of Nathaniel: “He was someone who, at least in his own immature mind, viewed himself as a hard kid who was obviously interested in a reputation that matched that.” The jury heard that prior to his death, Nathaniel had become involved in ‘street level’ drug dealing ‘through people older than him’.
An arrangement was made to meet to ‘sort things’, the court was told. "For Nathaniel this, the prosecution say, entailed a one v one fight with Boy A," the prosecutor said.
