The identity of a teenager who murdered a dad-to-be in the street can be revealed for the first time.
Karl Marler, 17, knifed 25-year-old Charlie Elms to the back after chasing him down in Oldham.
His identity was protected for legal reasons during the trial, but a judge lifted reporting restrictions following an application by the Manchester Evening News.

Marler was unanimously found guilty of murder.
There were cries of 'yes' when the foreman announced the jury's verdict.
The murder followed an armed confrontation in the streets following a 'petty and meaningless feud'.
Charlie had been part of a group of six men who arrived outside a house in Limeside on May 26.
He had a machete and others were also armed.
Marler, who was at the house, had a large kitchen knife and chased Charlie and another man through the streets.
At one point Charlie lost his footing, allowing Marler to catch up.
Marler then stabbed him to the back, causing catastrophic injuries which proved fatal.
Prosecutors said Charlie and the other man, who escaped, were 'running for their lives'.
The confrontation followed a row between two men, both partners of members of the Marler's family, which escalated with tit-for-tat incidents.
At the time of his death Charlie was due to become a dad.
His girlfriend paid tribute to him, describing him as a 'caring and loving person' and the 'life and soul of the party'.
Marler is due to be sentenced next week.
After the hearing, Detective Chief Inspector Carl Jones, of GMP's Major Incident Team, said: "I'm pleased the jury have been able to reach a verdict in relation to the violent murder of Charlie Elms and this has now led to Karl Marler being found guilty of his horrendous actions.
"The violent disorder and the subsequent murder of Elms happened in broad daylight in a built up area where children could have easily been playing.
"This type of senseless violence is completely unacceptable and it's a miracle no other people were caught up in the disorder and seriously injured.
"Thankfully, due to the swift work of detectives we were able to identify and apprehend all those involved and all of them now await what I suspect to be a substantial custodial sentence.
"I hope today's result also sends a clear and stark message that carrying and using knives will not be tolerated and no matter what your age, you will face the consequences of your actions."
