Last updated 9th Jul 2021
A teenager has been found guilty of the murder of 20 year old Abdullah Balouchi in Hull last October.
Three men have also been convicted following his killing, while a fourth man has been cleared of all changes.
Abdullah was found seriously injured on Peel Street last year and later died in hospital.
He'd been stabbed after reportedly being chased by a group of men.
Today at Hull Crown Court a 17 year old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was convicted of murder.
22 year old Peter Balog, from Scunthorpe admitted to murder earlier on during the trial.
19 year olds Khalid Aaden and Mohamed Aaden of Pendril Street in Hull were both found guilty of manslaughter.
The jury found 33 year old Abdul Al-Amundi, of Cambridge Street in Hull, not guilty of murder or manslaughter.
Detective Superintendent, Bob Clark of Humberside Police, said:
“Before I speak about those convicted, I want to first and foremost pay tribute to the family of Abdullah Balouchi. Abdullah’s family and especially his father, Farouk, has been a huge and valued support throughout our investigation.
"In the months since Abdullah’s death, he has shown remarkable fortitude in the face of all consuming heartache, supporting both his family in their grief and our investigation team.
“Abdullah was a promising college student with a bright future ahead of him who was needlessly and senselessly murdered at the hands of a group of young criminals, intent on evil.
“Peter Balog pleaded guilty during the course of the trial, owning up to his part in delivering the fatal blow which killed Abdullah.
"The other three defendants were convicted following the jury’s verdicts of guilty. I am obviously pleased with the outcome of the trial and hope that when sentencing is passed on Tuesday 30 August 2021, that it reflects the seriousness of this crime.
“The investigation into Abdullah’s murder will continue on the basis there are still outstanding offenders. The investigation team will not stop until these final pieces of the jigsaw are in place and those individuals are brought to justice.
