They were convicted yesterday in connection with the murder of Amir Shafique in Lembrook Walk, Aylesbury, last October.

Charlie Irwin, aged 22, of Radnor End, Aylesbury, was found guilty by unanimous jury verdict following a trial lasting 11 weeks at Reading Crown Court.

Nasim Khan, aged 24, of Ruskin Way, Aylesbury, was also convicted by unanimous jury verdict of murder.

Mohammed Wasim, aged 20, of Thrasher Road, Aylesbury, was acquitted of murder, but found guilty by unanimous jury verdict of manslaughter.

Ishmael Shah, aged 23, of Cotterills Lane, Birmingham, was acquitted of murder, but found guilty by unanimous jury verdict of manslaughter.

Bertie Turvey, aged 22, of Henry Road, Aylesbury, was acquitted of murder, but found guilty by majority jury verdict of manslaughter.

Bradley Shoult, aged 21, of Chalgrove Walk, Aylesbury, Hamza Mousa, aged 21, of Cotterills Lane, Birmingham, and an 18-year-old man who is not being named, were acquitted of murder and an alternative count of manslaughter.

At around 9.30pm on Wednesday 28 October last year, officers were called to Lembrook Walk, Aylesbury, not far from the Edinburgh Playing Fields, following reports of a serious altercation and that two men had been assaulted.

Mr Shafique, who was 22, was located at the scene with severe injuries and taken to Stoke Mandeville Hospital in the town, where he tragically died.

A second man, also aged in his twenties, was injured and was treated in hospital.

The investigation ascertained that a meeting with Mr Shafique had been arranged to resolve previous grievances, and that a fight was planned.

The meeting was arranged via social media and phone messages.

The defendants who were convicted arrived at the scene armed with an array of weapons and made preparations to avoid identification.

Sentencing has been deferred to a date to be confirmed at Reading Crown Court.
