A junkie was beaten to death in an East End street by three drug runners after he accused the trio of ripping him off and attacked their BMW with a bicycle lock.
Drug addict Sami Berjaoui, 24, (pic. top) suffered fatal head injuries in Moss Close, Old Montague Street, Whitechapel, at 6.30 am on September 21, last year.
Convicted of his murder are: Nahid Ahed, 20, (pic.centre) of Ajax House, Old Bethnal Green Road, Bethnal Green; Abu Tahir, 19, (pic. bottom) of Romford Road, Forest Gate and a 17 year-old Whitechapel youth who cannot be identified.
They will be sentenced at the Old Bailey on a date to be fixed.
Police were called by neighbours to reports of a fight and officers discovered Sami suffering head injuries.
He was taken to an east London hospital where he was pronounced dead at 07.10 am.
A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as a subarachnoid haemorrhage.
The three-week trial heard Sami confronted the three defendants, accusing them of ripping him off on a previous drug deal, and banged the bonnet of their car with the bicycle lock.
The trio jumped out of the car and beat him to death, even using the lock to inflict the fatal injuries.
