Bailey Atkinson was unarmed and on a night out walking through Walsall town centre when he was set upon in what was described as a 'ferocious' attack.
Seven teenagers have been found guilty of murdering a 20-year-old man who bled to death after being stabbed on Walsall's High Street.
They were Benjamin Wilkes, 18, of Bloxwich, Patrick Brookes, 18, of Walsall, Sonny Loveridge, 19, of Bloxwich and Ronan McCulloch, 18, of Bloxwich.Two other defendants also on trial were found not guilty.Detective Inspector Jim Mahon from West Midlands Police said the attack was "one of the most shocking" he has seen in his time as a police officer.
“This investigation was complex and extremely challenging. We made a total of 16 arrests and conducted 12 manhunts which led us all around the country to arrest the suspects. I pay respect to Bailey’s mother and family, who have had to endure this trial in the same courtroom as his killers.
