Leicester fire deaths: Three men found guilty
by Guest Mon Jun 23, 2014 3:45 pm
Three men have been convicted for their part in a revenge arson attack that killed four people.
Shehnila Taufiq, 47, daughter Zainab, 19, and sons Bilal, 17, and Jamal, 15 died in a house fire in Leicester in the early hours of 13 September.
Kemo Porter, 19, and Tristan Richards, 23, were found guilty of their murder and Shaun Carter, 24, of manslaughter.
The jury is undecided on five other defendants and the judge has offered to take a majority verdict.
During the trial at Nottingham Crown Court, the jury heard the attack had been part of a "botched revenge attack".
Prosecutor Richard Latham QC said the men had intended to target the house of another man who they believed had stabbed their friend Antoin Akpom.
The fire was started when petrol was poured through the letterbox and then lit.
CCTV footage from the street on the night of the fire had been shown during the two-month trial. It showed eight figures walking towards the house and then three later running away.
