Boys guilty of tram stop murder
TWO teenage boys have been found guilty of murdering father-of-five Colin Greenwood, who died following a savage beating at a Sheffield tram stop.
The boys, both aged 14 at the time of the attack in April, denied murder but were this afternoon convicted by a unanimous jury following just three hours of deliberations at Sheffield Crown Court.
Family members wept as the guilty verdicts were read out and one woman, believed to be the mother of one of the boys, left the court room in hysterics.
The boys, now 14 and 15, will be sentenced on October 5.
Mr Greenwood, of Dryden Road, Southey Green, was partially sighted and registered disabled.
He was attacked by the yobs, who cannot be named for legal reasons, at Middlewood tram stop as he made his way home from his partner's house in Winn Gardens, Middlewood.
