Afghan asylum seeker found guilty of murder had killed before in Serbia

An Afghan asylum seeker who had previously been convicted of murder in Serbia has been found guilty of killing a young man in a row over an e-scooter.

Lawangeen Abdulrahimzai killed 21-year-old Thomas Roberts outside a Subway sandwich shop in Bournemouth, Dorset, in March, last year.

Abdulrahimzai, 21, had admitted manslaughter but the jury at Salisbury Crown Court took 12 hours to find him guilty of murder on Monday with a majority verdict.
