A 17 year old has been found guilty of stabbing another teenager to death in Milton Keynes.
The victim, Lewis Wenman who was also 17, suffered three wounds following an altercation between the pair in November 2020.
Aylesbury Crown Court convicted the 17 year old, who can't be name because of his age, by a unanimous jury verdict on December 2nd, 2021.
“The death of Lewis Wenman on 7 November last year has devastated his family.
“Lewis died having been stabbed three times during an attack in Springfield. There was absolutely no justification for this incident that resulted in Lewis losing his life in front of two friends who tried to save him along with the attending police officers, ambulance crews and the staff at Milton Keynes A&E department.
“I would like to pay tribute to Lewis’s family for their support of the investigation over the last 12 months.
"During the trial, they have had to listen to the detail of what happened that night and watch parts of the incident captured on a CCTV. They have conducted themselves with absolute dignity throughout.
“The conviction today will never bring any closure to the family but I hope it will go some way in helping the grieving process knowing the person responsible has been convicted of Lewis’s murder.
“This is another example of how knives really do ruins lives.”
