A killer who plunged a knife into an acquaintance’s stomach was cleared of murder at the Old Bailey, but still faces jail for manslaughter when he returns for sentencing on December 23.
Homeless Andrew Winter, 37, killed 32 year-old Daniel Myrie at a residential address in Canada Gardens, Lewisham, during a row on December 3, last year.
The victim resided with his 52 year-old mother and brother Aaron at the address, but suffered the fatal injury at the hands of Winter – who was known to the family – and pronounced dead at Lewisham Hospital.
A post mortem at Greenwich Mortuary on December 4 at gave cause of death as a stab wounds to the abdomen.
Winter (pictured) was arrested on suspicion of murder after attending a local a police station and was rushed to King’s College Hospital, Camberwell, for treatment to a head injury.
Detective Inspector Dean Johnson, from the Metropolitan Police’s Homicide and Serious Crime command said: "This incident escalated into a violent attack and the tragic death of Daniel.
“Today's verdict will perhaps bring some long awaited peace to a family who have lost a son and a brother as the result of a row that sadly got out of control.
“We will continue to bring those who use violence to prosecution and today Andrew Winter has learnt what the consequences of his violent actions are."

Is it just me... or does that guy look as though he has 3 nostrils?
How was your American Thanksgiving? Is it true that there were a bunch of chips and sodas put on the table and you were told to knock your selves out? I stayed at home in bed... covers up... staring at the ceiling... with the babies covering me. Ollie tucked in right next to me under the covers with his little head next to mine around 3 o'clock. and he put his little furry white arm around me. At one point I awoke to pink paws in my nose!
Friends came by with turkey and dressing. We watched football and stuff. I only got out of bed to pee and find the remote.
