Footballer was gunned down on train station platform
A teenager girl and boy have been acquitted of the attempted murder of a footballer who was gunned down in a train station.
The boy from Wembley and girl from Cricklewood, who are both aged 17, were accused of blasting the 27-year-old in the back on the platform of Harlesden train station on March 9 this year.
However, both have been convicted of possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and the girl has also been found guilty of perverting the cause of justice.
Blackfriars Crown Court heard the victim had been taking part in a football tournament in Stonebridge and was on his way back to his home in south London.
