Damien Solowabe, 18, and Tobi Peters, 17, knifed Lyle Tulloch 13 times in a stairwell of a block of flats in Elephant and Castle.

The victim's friend, who had borrowed the phone earlier in the night, had to jump from a second-floor balcony to escape being stabbed by the pair.

Lyle bled to death from wounds to his heart, liver and lung in the early hours in May. The court heard how a row originally broke out after Lyle hugged a girl who Solowabe claimed was his girlfriend. Once this argument had been defused by other guests at the party in the Rockingham estate, another row started over Solowabe's claim his mobile had been taken by Lyle or his friend.

Removing a knife from the kitchen he then took Lyle out of the flat and into a stairwell, helped by Peters. Peters, from Deptford, was seen to stab Lyle as he lay on the ground.

The defendants, who had pleaded not guilty to murder, will be sentenced next week. Solowabe, of Gipsy Hill, had been a pupil at the Rambert school of ballet and contemporary dance.
