Two men have been found guilty of the murder of a father-of-three, who was shot eight times as he left a birthday party in a “carefully co-ordinated execution”.
Robert Powell, 50, was gunned down in Roydon, near Harlow, Essex, in the early hours of June 13 2020, Essex Police said.
He had left the party in Water Lane at about 4.45am and died later in hospital.
One of the shots went through Mr Powell and hit two nearby women, injuring them.
Essex Police said Nana Oppong, 43, and Israar Shah, 39, organised and carried out the killing.
Both men fled the country in the days after the shooting but were tracked down and extradited to the UK last year – Oppong from Morocco and Shah from Spain.
The force said that on Tuesday both men were found guilty at Woolwich Crown Court of Mr Powell’s murder and possession of a firearm, after a trial.
Oppong was also found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm and possessing a prohibited weapon, and he admitted to conspiring to supply Class A drugs, police said.
Oppong and Shah will be sentenced at the same court on Friday, May 31.

Ho look BLM
Didn't rhis happen in harlow in water lane
How much has been spent on these things legal aid for example, and now they are to be housed and fed by us the tax payers. Have any of them contributed in any way to our society? The drain on us all is enormous.
Is that the Essex in Somalia…..
Possession of a farm…doesnt look like the average farmer!
Black life matters don't forget
Don't worry if Labour get in, then they'd walk free.
proper looking brits
Since Labour flooded this country with third world migrants in 1997 This country hasn’t benefited anything from mass immigration.
Diversity is strength.
Being culturally enriched on our streets thanks to our politicians bring in all these engineers and doctors from third world slums.
Because white people never commit violent crimes.
Anyone knows the name ?
Middle classes let them in, working classes have to live with the fallout. Traitors the lot of them.
Wot are letting happen here…how come not a single candidate that is running for Prime Minister is talking about we are literally being overun by foreign criminals?
The gunmen were initially reported as being on a (stolen) motorcycle. The cuffed guy looks genuinely bewildered, having been told he has been arrested on suspicion of “merduh”.
Remember…..diversity is out strength.
Familiar looking faces reflecting what multiculturalism had done to the country. If they been indigenous people then I'm sure the media and authorities will say they are far right groups. Phew 😢.
I truly can't believe the men are black, I'm in shock
Essex boys, but it's 2024 where the UK is now a cross between Africa and the middle east.
Again… look at the skin colour… these race are a menace on this planet!!!
You would never of guessed that they would be black
I'm not surprised when I hear the news and see the usual cultured race who are to blame. What has Britain become 😢
Africa?

The look on both of their faces said it all. "Yikes, this is the last hour of my freedom, and the last time I will smell fresh outside air for the next 30 years"
Those trousers she had on hahaha she aint afraid! WTF
Cultural enrichment, this gs are only going to get worse.
Diversity is our strength 🤦🏻♂️
