A jury has found 10 teenagers guilty of murdering Jack Woodley.
The teenagers have been standing trial at Newcastle Crown Court accused of murdering 18-year-old Jack, which they denied. But after lengthy deliberations, the jury foreperson returned a guilty verdict of murder in respect of all defendants on Wednesday afternoon.
The youths, aged between 14 and 18, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were found guilty of murdering Jack in a group attack after attending the Houghton Feast, Houghton-le-Spring in October last year. The trial previously heard how the youths were "looking for trouble" after attending the fair before Jack, from County Durham was attacked with punches, kicks, stamps and the stab.
