Rico Burton, 31, the cousin of the world heavyweight boxing champion, was killed in August.
A man has been found guilty of murdering the cousin of world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury with a knife during a bar brawl.Manchester Crown Court heard the seven-inch blade almost completely severed a major artery in Mr Burton's neck causing massive blood loss.He was found guilty by a jury of seven women and five men after three-and-a-half hours of deliberations following a three-week trial.
O'Pray, who made no reaction in the dock, was also found guilty of wounding with intent by slashing and stabbing Harvey Reilly, who was 17 at the time and now 18, during the same incident on August 22 last year.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.
Jurors heard that shortly after 03:00 BST, "absolute chaos" broke out after O'Pray's friend, Malachi Hewitt-Brown, was punched by Mr Burton's cousin, Chasiah Burton.Jurors heard that O'Pray had a previous conviction for having a knife in public in 2019, but he claimed to be "not a violent person."Outside court, Harvey Reilly's mother Sarah said the families were now going to "put time and strength and effort into campaigning against knife crime".
