At Nottingham Crown Court, Hamblett-Sewell had denied ordering the killing. | |
Kadeem met rival gang members for a pre-arranged fight at the local park and when he pulled a knife Campbell pulled out a sawn-off shotgun and shot him in the chest. | |
The jury heard that Hamblett-Sewell had ordered Campbell to pull the trigger in revenge for a perceived insult to his family. | |
Hamblett-Sewell admitted being at the scene but insisted he had been surprised that Campbell had brought a gun and had tried to stop the shooting. | |
Both will be sentenced at a later date. |
