The teenager who stabbed 15-year-old Elianne Andam to death in a row over a teddy bear has been found guilty of murder.

Hassan Sentamu, 18, attacked Elianne with a kitchen knife in "white-hot anger at having been disrespected" after she stood up for his ex-girlfriend, the Old Bailey heard.

Sentamu, who was 17 at the time, admitted manslaughter but denied murder on the basis of "loss of control" because he has autism.
