    Breaking

    A man has been found guilty of the murder of 18-year-old Connor Brown, who was stabbed outside a pub in Sunderland in February.

    Leighton Barrass, 20, of Hartside Square, Sunderland, killed Connor in an argument by the Borough pub.

    Another man, Ally Gordon, 19, of Pulmuir Road, was cleared of murder but found guilty of manslaughter at Newcastle Crown Court.

    The court previously heard Barrass had bought a flick knife from a shop in Sunderland for £15 on the day of Connor's death.

    He was seen demonstrating to friends how the knife worked in CCTV images shown to the court.

    Sentencing has been adjourned until 10:00 tomorrow.
