Machete teenager is found guilty of murder at Leeds flat

Saymore Kwashira suffered catastrophic internal bleeding after Romaine James thrust the lengthy weapon into his stomach.

James maintains he was acting in self-defence, but following a nine-day trial at Leeds Crown Court the jury unanimously found him guilty of murder.

The 18-year-old had been taking the nitrous oxide - also known as laughing gas - at an address in Winrose Avenue, Belle Isle, in the early hours of November 11 last year.
