Two teenagers accused of murdering 15-year-old Luis Guembes in a Guildford park have been found guilty of all charges.

The jury returned its verdicts on Tuesday afternoon, following a trial which began on October 19.

Defendant 1, who was 15 at the time and is now 16, was found guilty of murder, guilty of conspiracy to rob and guilty of being in possession of a bladed article.

Defendant 2, who was 16 at the time, was also found guilty of murder. He had already pleaded guilty to conspiracy to rob and possession of a bladed article.

Luis, a student at All Hallows Catholic School in Farnham, died after being stabbed in the grounds of the Wildwood Adventure Centre in Stoke Park on January 19.

Jurors heard Defendant 2 admitted luring Luis to the park to rob him and planning for both defendants to carry knives.

Both defendants denied stabbing Luis.

In a video recorded afterwards, Defendant 1 said: “I stabbed him bro and I think Defendant 2 did as well.”

He told the court he had lied about the stabbing to make his co-defendant believe him.

Defendant 2 accepted he brandished a knife first and fought with Luis. Luis’s blood was found on his clothing and a soap dish at his home.

The jury began deliberating on Monday, November 9, following Ms Justice Norton’s summing-up. They returned to give a verdict at 3.57pm, having taken nine hours and 26 minutes to reach a decision.

Justice Norton said: “Ladies and gentlemen, let me address you.

“Firstly, thank you very much indeed for taking the time to care for this tragic case. There are no winners; it is unbearably sad for all involved, but in particular for Luis's family.”

The pair are due to be sentenced at the same court on Friday, December 18.
