A Birmingham teenager who repeatedly stabbed a "loving grandad" and inflicted serious injuries to him which resulted in his death, and then bragged about the attack on social media, has been convicted of murder.

Eighteen-year-old Leary Dalton-Byrne, despite pleading his innocence, was found guilty in the murder of 45-year-old Dean Ward.

According to a press release by the Birmingham Police, the incident unfolded at Finchley Park in Kingstanding during the early morning of June 20. Ward was reportedly walking around the park with a friend at around 6:30 am when they were approached by Dalton-Byrne and another youth.
