Kamran Aman was delivering shopping to his mother's house and was returning to his car when he was set upon by the teenagers and attacked "for no reason".

Mr Aman, 38, suffered a fatal stab wound to the left side of his chest shortly after midnight on June 30 in Barry, after an altercation involving two boys, aged 16 and 17.

A trial at Cardiff Crown Court was played footage of the incident, in which one of the boys could be heard shouting "n*****" after the victim had already suffered the fatal injury.

The defendants, of Llantwit Major, both pleaded guilty to manslaughter but denied murder, but both were found guilty of murder at 11.30am yesterday. They cannot be named as they are both under 18 and a court order has been made preventing them from being identified.

The trial heard both teenagers had been drinking to excess throughout the day, and the 16-year-old defendant "swore on his dead granddad's grave he would stab and murder".

Prosecutor Owen Edwards KC said the incident began when the 16-year-old looked out of the window of a property in Barry Road and saw Mr Aman getting into his Volkswagen Passat, and briefly looked at him.
