Two Men Guilty Of Killing Bristol Teen

Two men have been found guilty of the killing of 17-year-old Jake Milton, who died in a pre-arranged fight in June.

Jake Milton was stabbed five times and suffered injuries to his chest, back and arm.

18-year-old Lewis Talbot, of Knowle in Bristol, was found guilty of murder and 20-year-old Nathan Warburton, also of Knowle, was convicted of manslaughter.

During the two week trial, it was heard that Milton and Talbot had arranged the fight following an exchange of taunts and threatening messages.

The two men, who had denied the charges, are due to be sentenced at Bristol Crown Court.
