Two men have admitted to the manslaughter of 21 year old Dwayne Forrester in Pitsea four years ago.
Dwayne was found seriously injured in Little Garth in on July 7 2018 and was later taken to hospital.
A post-mortem later found he'd died from a single stab wound to the heart.
Today Jeffrey Goodwin, 26, and 25 year-old Hayden Line today admitted to the manslaughter of Dwayne at Basildon Crown Court.
Line, of Esmond Close, Rainham, and Goodwin, of Russell Road, Canning Town, were both arrested in January 2019.
Both will be sentenced at the same court at a later date.
Senior investigating officer Julie Gowen, of Essex Police, said: “Today, my thoughts and those of my team, are with Dwayne’s family who have waited more than four years for justice.
“Dwayne Forrester’s death has had a huge impact on his friends and family and no court result will ever bring him back.
“They have shown incredible courage throughout the lengthy investigation and trial, and I want to thank them for their support to my team and praise them for their bravery.
“We have never given up trying to get justice for them. We have left no stone unturned, no avenue unexplored and today’s conviction is the culmination of that work."
