Two teenagers have been found guilty of murdering a 16-year-old boy after he was stabbed with a sword just yards from his home.
Ronan Kanda was struck twice from behind on Mount Road in Lanesfield, Wolverhampton, in a shocking case of mistaken identity, a court heard.
The teenager was returning from a friend's house, having bought a PlayStation controller for £5, when he was fatally attacked on the evening of June 29 last year.

Only one of them stabbed Ronan, but the other 16-year-old was found to have acted in the joint enterprise of his murder.
