Former Nottingham Forest player Sekou Doucoure was stabbed on a garage forecourt in Birmingham
A 16-year-old boy was fatally stabbed on a petrol station forecourt after being "chased down" by gang members involved in a postcode war.
"Unfortunately Sekou went into the area that relates to a different postcode to where he lives and I do believe it was a big factor in why he was killed," she said. As he made his way to Burbury Street, a fourth man who had joined the chase using Thomas' mountain bike, caught up with him and the pair became involved in a fight on the petrol station forecourt.
At Coventry Crown Court on Wednesday, the pair were found not guilty of murder but convicted of manslaughter.and a £10,000 Crimestoppers reward leading to his arrest was still in place.
