A 16-year-old boy has been found guilty of murdering a "vulnerable" man who was stabbed and pushed into a canal.
The body of Scott Anderton, 33, was recovered from the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in Leigh on the morning of March 25.
A post-mortem examination showed he had suffered 35 stab wounds from the top of his head to his shins, Manchester Evening News reports.
On Monday, jurors at Manchester Crown Court unanimously found a 16-year-old - Boy B - guilty of murder.
Another teenager, Liam Bailey, 18, had previously admitted Mr Anderton's murder.
While a 17-year-old - Boy A - was cleared of murder, but found guilty of manslaughter after the jury deliberated for more than 11 hours.
Both Boy A and Boy B cannot be named for legal reasons.
During the five-week trial, jurors heard how the three defendants lured the victim from Leigh town centre to a quiet spot by the side of the water, where they subjected him to a "horrific" act of sustained violence.
They then pushed him into the canal and rained blows down on him as he tried desperately to get out of the water.
After murdering him, the 16-year-old - Boy B - made an internet search enquiring, “How long do u get for a murder".
The defendants targeted Mr Anderton - who one later described as “a complete stranger” - after they found him alone in Leigh town centre during the early hours of the morning.
Just minutes earlier, he was captured on CCTV walking through the town at about 4am carrying a plastic bag and wearing only one shoe.
The defendants - who were carrying a bag of weapons - took him to a secluded stretch of canal where they brutally attacked him.
A post-mortem examination found “35 separate, sharp force injuries” across Mr Anderton's body, as well as blunt force trauma injuries to his head.
A pathologist found a number of the wounds were “defensive” and “consistent with blows being delivered to him to prevent him getting out of the canal”.
After pushing him into the water, Bailey rifled through Mr Anderton's bag before he and the two boys left the scene.
The trio returned to the scene of the killing on two separate occasions that morning.
During the second - not long after Mr Anderton's body had been found floating in the canal - they took several recordings of police carrying out their investigations.
All three were arrested by police in the early hours of March 26.
They will be sentenced on November 12.
