This is the moment a teen killer was arrested at work in JD sports the morning after he and his brother murdered a man. Body worn camera footage captured police swooping on Ridhwaan Farouk at the store.
The 19-year-old had previously confessed to a colleague he had been involved in an attack the previous night, fuelled by his 'brother's beef.' The victim of the stabbing in Birmingham had been 20-year-old Amin Talea, who died a few hours later in hospital.
Following a trial at Birmingham Crown Court Farouk and his older brother Mohammed Farouk, 21, were found guilty of murder, Birmingham Live reports.

The court heard the siblings had lay in wait and attacked Mr Talea at around 9pm on the evening of October 1 last year, as he left his flat to meet two of his friends parked in a Volkswagen Golf outside.
The victim managed to run off and he flagged down two passers-by who called for an ambulance after seeing he was bleeding severely. Prosecutor Mark Heywood, opening the case earlier this month, told the jury the following morning Ridhwaan was given a lift to work by his colleague.
He said: "He asked her to swing by Middleton Hall Road on the way to check something out. He didn't say what but his colleague already knew from social media there had been an incident in Middleton Hall Road. Straight away she wanted to know what was up and asked Ridhwaan what he had done.
"He told her he and somebody who he only referred to as 'his brother' - he didn't say who that was or what he meant by that expression - but he and this individual had been there the night before, it wasn't 'his beef' it was his brother's. The two of them in the car found Middleton Hall Road still blocked by police examining the scene.
"The colleague told Ridhwaan somebody had died. He appeared to be shocked to hear that and responded by swearing, saying 'f***'. He also commented he was 'going to go down for this' and felt sick. He told her about taking a taxi to Overbury Road walking to Amin Talea's flat and waiting for him to come out. He didn't think he would be picked up on CCTV and didn't know about doorbell cameras.
"The colleague asked why he was telling her this, he said because he knew she wouldn't tell anybody else. Naturally, she did. She told another colleague."
Jurors were shown the soundless footage of police confronting Ridhwaan at JD Sports later that morning. After being arrested at the shop he denied to the officers the conversation with his co-worker had taken place, the court heard. He later claimed Mr Talea was a 'gang affiliate' who could have been attacked for 'many reasons'.
Today West Midlands Police stated the brothers' motive 'remained a mystery' but said the case was another example of the 'devastating impact of knife crime'. The Farouks will be sentenced on Friday, April 29.
