A killer is facing prison for stabbing a man to death in his bedroom but he and two others were cleared of murder.
Fise Ames Abdou died after being knifed ten times in the legs at the home he was staying at in South Shields. Shaun Riches, 24, of Wycliffe Avenue, Kenton, Newcastle, was found guilty of manslaughter but cleared of murder, along with Scott Mitchell, 25, of no fixed address and Michael Raine, 35, of Grace House, Percy Main, North Shields. Mitchell and Raine were also cleared of manslaughter.
One of the stab wounds to Fise's leg severed a vein and he bled to death despite efforts to save him, Newcastle Crown Court heard.
