Two men have been convicted of manslaughter for beating a Cricklewood man to death.

Sander Kesington, 25, of Windermere Avenue, Finchley, and Carl Dewayne Taylor, 18, of Stockford Ave, Mill Hill, were found guilty at Central Criminal Court today.

29-year-old Jamie Graham was found lying in the road suffering from several injuries in Cool Oak Lane, West Hendon, at around midnight on Mary 23 last year.

He was taken to Northwick Park Hospital, but died just hours later. A post mortem found that he had died after his liver ruptured during a sustained assault.

The court heard that Kesington and Taylor attacked Mr Graham because he owed Kesington drug money.

Both men were arrested in Manchester four days after the attack and charged with murder.

DI Liz Baker, of the Homicide and Serious Crime Command, said: "I am extremely pleased with the verdicts given today.

"This will allow Jamie's family to grieve knowing that justice has been done and that some of the questions surrounding his death have been answered.

"Kesington and Taylor are violent men who had no thought for their victim and left him alone, with no medical assistance."

The pair will be sentenced in May.
