Relatives of Rico Burton who packed the public gallery shouted “yes” as the guilty verdict was delivered
A man has been found guilty of murdering the cousin of world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury with a single blow from a knife during a brawl outside a bar.
Liam O’Pray, 22, used a lock-knife to stab Rico Burton, 31, in the neck, Manchester Crown Court heard. The knife’s seven-inch blade cut open the major carotid artery in Mr Burton’s neck, causing massive blood loss. O’Pray, from Swinton, Salford, was found guilty of murder by a jury of seven women and five men after three and a half hours of deliberations following a three-week trial. Relatives of Mr Burton who packed the public gallery shouted “yes” as the guilty verdict was delivered and O’Pray in the dock made no reaction.
The trial was told trouble began after a fight between the defendant’s friends and Mr Burton’s family and friends at Goose Green, a courtyard of bars in Altrincham, Cheshire. Judge Alan Conrad KC said he will pass sentence on August 4, though the defendant faces a mandatory life sentence for murder.
