A man has been found guilty of the murder of 16-year-old Rhamero West. Rhamero, a nephew of ex Man-City star Shaun Wright-Phillips, was hunted down and stabbed to death by Ryan Cashin in the street in Old Trafford, a court heard.
Cashin, 19, had taken the weapon from a 17-year-old boy who had chased Rhamero as he ran for his life, a Manchester jury was told. Rhamero, who started his first day at college studying catering on the day he was murdered, desperately banged on front doors as he tried to get away from his attackers.
Cashin and the 17-year-old, who can't be named for legal reasons, appeared at Manchester Crown Court charged with his murder.
