Three teenagers have been found guilty of murdering a father-of-three who died in an attack outside his home in England last August.
Garry Newlove, 47, was set upon after he confronted the group of youths who had vandalised a mechanical digger and another vehicle in Warrington.
He died in hospital two days later from head injuries.
After more than 55 hours of deliberations, a jury found 19-year-old Adam Swellings, 17-year-old Stephen Sorton, and 16-year-old Jordan Cunliffe guilty of his murder.
Two other teenagers, aged 17 and 15, were acquitted after a trial lasting several weeks at Chester Crown Court.
Adam Swellings had earlier pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
Mr Newlove's death sparked a wave of public anger and led to the area's police chief calling for the legal drinking age in Britain to be raised to 21 to stem anti-social and violent behaviour.
He had met police three months before his murder to discuss setting up a Neighbourhood Watch scheme after a spate of youth crime in the area.
The three will sentenced at a later date.
