'Snapchat queen' Fatima Khan guilty of boyfriend killing 'Snapchat queen' Fatima Khan guilty of boyfriend killing
(about 1 hour later)
A woman who posted a video on Snapchat of her on-off boyfriend as he lay dying has been found guilty of manslaughter. A "Snapchat queen" who posted a video of her boyfriend dying in a pool of blood has been found guilty of orchestrating his killing.
Fatima Khan, 21, was found guilty of killing Khalid Safi, 18, from Ilford, east London, who died from stab wounds in December 2016. Fatima Khan, 21, plotted with a love rival to kill Khalid Safi, 18, who she had been seeing for two years.
It was alleged his killer was in league with love rival Raza Khan, 19, who is currently on the run. Mr Safi was repeatedly stabbed in the chest by Raza Khan in North Acton, London, in December 2016, jurors heard.
Khan, dubbed the "Snapchat Queen" due to her social media habits, was found not guilty of murder. Khan filmed Mr Safi as he lay dying in the street and posted it on Snapchat alongside an offensive message.
Sentencing will take place on 30 July. The self-confessed Snapchat addict denied murdering Mr Safi, saying she was "ashamed" of the video.
But a jury at the Old Bailey found her guilty of manslaughter by a majority of 10-1 on Tuesday.

CCTV images shown in court showed her calmly filming Mr Safi bleeding to death. Prosecutor Kate Bex QC said Khan became upset when, five days before his death, Mr Safi gave her a watch as a gift.
She then shared the video on Snapchat alongside an abusive message. Khan threw the gift at him out of an upstairs window because her family did not know about the relationship, Ms Bex said.
Khan's own defence lawyer told jurors that her social media "obsession" was "not healthy". The lawyer told jurors that Mr Khan was "a rival for her affections" and Khan was "essential to the success of the plan" to get rid of Mr Safi.
On the day of the killing, Mr Safi and Khan had gone to a Costa Coffee near to her work at Vigilant Security in North Acton.
Mr Khan then arrived in a minicab and walked up to the couple, holding a large knife, Ms Bex said.
"Raza Khan spoke briefly to either the defendant or Khalid Safi and then turned to face him, at which point the prosecution suggest the knife would have been in plain view.
"Mr Safi produced a screwdriver and they began to fight. The fight lasted 15 seconds at most and it is caught on CCTV.
"Mr Safi died at the scene having received a number of wounds to his chest, one penetrating his heart."
Khan was injured in the fight but left the scene and his whereabouts remain unknown, the court heard.
Defending, Kerim Fuad QC said Khan was ashamed at posting the "callous and crass" video on Snapchat.
She will be sentenced on 30 July.
