Teenager sobs as he is found guilty of 'Rambo knife' killing

ATTACKER WHO GRINNED AT HIS VICTIM SENTENCED NEXT MONTH

- By MARTIN NAYLOR

A TEENAGER has been found guilty of murdering a young man by stabbing him once in the chest with a “Rambo knife”

After a near-two-week trial at Derby Crown Court, a jury took less than three hours to unanimously convict Charlie Hartle of the murder of Noah Smedley.

The 18-year-old rap music lover, who was 17 at the time he attacked his victim, initially showed no emotion as the foreman of the jury delivered the verdict in front of family members of the Ilkeston victim and the defendant's own loved ones.

But within a minute of hearing the verdict, he leaned forward and began to softly sob, holding his head in his hands.
