Jodie Chesney: Two teenagers guilty of murdering Girl Scout stabbed to death

Two teenagers have been found guilty of murdering Girl Scout Jodie Chesney.

Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and a 17-year-old boy who cannot be named for legal reasons have been convicted at the Old Bailey of murdering the 17-year-old.

Their co-defendants Manual Petrovic, 20, and a 16-year-old boy were cleared of murder after the jury deliberated for less than six hours.

Members of Jodie's family, including father Peter and sister Lucy, erupted with cheers of "yes!" and clenched their fists as the guilty verdicts were delivered.

Earlier, there were tears from Jodie's sister as the not-guilty verdicts were delivered for murder charges against Manual Petrovic and the 16-year-old boy.

The family left the court as soon as the verdicts were delivered.

The murderers will be sentenced on November 18 and both face life.
