The dismembered remains of 34-year-old Ashley Walsh were recovered more than a week after he'd last been seen by his girlfriend.
Aaron Evitt and his cousin Gerard McGlacken, now both face life sentences. Members of Mr Walsh's family wore purple jumpers in his memory as the verdicts were delivered.
Mr Walsh had gone for a drink with his friend Evitt and McGlacken. Following a row at McGlacken's flat in Collyhurst, Evitt hit Mr Walsh over the head with a hammer, on Friday, January 7.
Cocaine-fuelled McGlacken, 45, admitted stabbing Mr Walsh, and then brutally dismembering him before stuffing his remains in bin bags and transferring them to a nearby park in four suitcases.
