Three men convicted over park stab death

Arhin Tutu, Daniel Israel and Momoh Sesay were convicted on Wednesday

Three men have been convicted over the death of a man found stabbed in a Coventry park.

At Warwick Crown Court, Momoh Sesay, 23, and Arhin Tutu, 22, were both found guilty of murdering Marvin Warmington after he was injured in Gosford Green Park on Binley Road in August last year.

Police said he was killed after an argument over drug dealing and the theft of a shared bicycle.

A third man, Daniel Israel, 34, was found guilty of manslaughter and assisting an offender at Wednesday's hearing.

Messages between Israel, of no fixed abode, and Sesay, of Kingsland Avenue, Coventry, discussed fleeing to London after the attack.

Police said Sesay had asked Israel whether he "left the ting in the park", referring to a knife that was used to stab Mr Warmington and later hidden in a bush within the grounds.

All three men pleaded guilty to charges of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.

Tutu, of Leicester Street, Bedworth, Warwickshire, also pleaded guilty to possession of a knife in a public place.

Marvin Warmington's family previously said he was "an incredibly-loved father, son, brother and uncle"

Det Sgt Leigh Harrison of West Midlands Police said: "This was a senseless and violent act which cost Mr Warmington his life."

Mr Warmington's family previously described him as "an incredibly loved father, son, brother and uncle".

Their statement read: "We have all been left with a piece of us taken along with him."

The convicted trio are due to appear at Warwick Crown Court on 26 March for sentencing.
