Teenager guilty of Jimmy's murder

An Old Bailey jury rejected the 19-year-old's claims of self-defence and Fahri was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 14 years.

Jimmy, a church-going 16-year-old, died after Fahri went berserk in a local bakery and threw an oven dish at him.

It shattered on his chin - sending a one-and-a-half-inch shard of glass into his neck, where it severed vital blood vessels.

Jimmy's family applauded as the verdict was delivered on the second day of the jury's deliberations.

Fahri showed little emotion in the dock as the verdict was delivered. But members of Jimmy's family burst into tears and hugged each other as they watched from the back of the court.

The court was told that blood squirted from Jimmy's neck after the attack and covered the Three Cooks Bakery in Lee, south London, like a scene from a horror film.

Jimmy staggered into a back room where, 15 seconds later, his older brother Tommy, 27, found him. He collapsed in Tommy's arms. Their mother Margaret arrived and fainted. She sent for a priest when she came round.

As Jimmy was hit by the glass, Fahri swaggered from the shop with a triumphant grin on his face, according to witnesses.

Fahri, from Milborough Crescent, Lee, had not wanted to lose face after picking a row with Jimmy, who was described by friends as a gentle giant.
