Eddie Kinuthia: Man found not guilty of murdering teenager

www.bbc.co.uk

A man has been cleared of murdering a teenager after a judge found there was not enough evidence connecting him to the incident.

Man guilty of murdering teenager Eddie Kinuthia in Bristol stabbing

Zacharia Talbert-Young has been found guilty of murdering 19-year-old Eddie Kinuthia.

www.bbc.co.uk

A jury found Zacharia Talbert-Young, 27, guilty of his murder at Bristol Crown Court earlier. He will be sentenced on Tuesday.

Paul Hayden, who was also accused of Mr Kinuthia's murder, was cleared part-way through the trial when the judge found there was not enough evidence to connect the 22-year-old to the incident.
Talbert-Young and Hayden were also on trial for the attempted murder of 19-year-old Nathan Williams, who was stabbed in Lawrence Hill in February 2024 - seven months after Mr Kinuthia's death.

The jury found them both guilty of attempted murder.

Two men have received life sentences for their part in a ‘gang warfare’ that is ‘scarring’ north east Bristol, a High Court judge has ruled. Zachariah Talbert-Young was found guilty last week of the 2023 murder of Bristol teenager Eddie King Kinuthia, while he was also found guilty with Paul Elijah Hayden for the attempted murder of another teenager six months later.

In a complex sentencing hearing, Mr Justice Pepperall jailed Talbert-Young to two life sentences with a minimum term of 33 years and 136 days for the murder of Eddie Kinuthia and a second life sentence with a minimum of 20 years for the attempted murder of Nathan Williams.

For attempting to murder Nathan Williams in a separate attack in Lawrence Hill six months later, Paul Hayden was jailed for life with a minimum term of 17 years and 136 days, before he is eligible for parole.

The judge said: “I have no doubt whatever that you are both very dangerous men and pose a significant risk to the public,” describing the murder of Eddie Kinuthia as ‘an ambush’.
