Trio GUILTY of murder after hijacking dispute that had 'nothing to do with them' and killing 'wrong man'

Three men have been found guilty of murder after hijacking a dispute which had nothing to do with them and then fatally stabbing the 'wrong person'.

Kane Adamson, 19, Joshua Prescott, 20, and Ben Dawber, 19, chased a man who had just punched someone outside a bar in Tyldesley but then launched a 'ferocious' attack on the wrong person.

Thomas Williamson, 30, suffered from mental health problems and was out for a walk to clear his head at the time. He suffered a series of fatal stab wounds, including one that penetrated his heart and lung and sadly died at the scene.
