Michael Dosunmu, 15, died after being sprayed with bullets from a Mac-10 sub-machine gun.

He had been sleeping under a duvet in the bedroom he shared with his older brother Hakeem when the two gunmen burst in.

Mohammed Sannoh and Abdi Omar Noor had gone to the house in Diamond Street, Peckham, south-east London, to kill Hakeem and left without realising they had killed Michael by mistake.

Michael was hit by four bullets - one of them fatally piercing his heart - in the early hours of February 6 last year.

Hakeem, 26, who had fallen into bad ways after finding life difficult when he left the Army, had been out at a club where he was trying to sell drugs when his church-going brother perished.

Sannoh, 19, of Peckham, and Noor, 22, of Camberwell, were found guilty of murder and will be sentenced at the Old Bailey.

Hakeem's links to a robbery gang and the murder of one crook led the gunmen to his door. But Michael's devoutly Christian family said they were standing by Hakeem.

Father Rasak said: "Presently, he is feeling guilty that he brought all this on us.

"But this is not the way we brought him up. He is our son, we love him. We cannot discard him. He made a mistake in life."
