Two men have been found guilty of a frenzied attack on a university student who was fatally stabbed in the heart as he waited for a lift home after a night out. Daniel Pollen, 20, died after receiving a two-inch stab wound. His friend Andrew Griffiths was repeatedly punched and stabbed in the assault, which was caught on CCTV.

The pair had been out celebrating Mr Griffiths' 20th birthday on July 8 last year.

They were waiting for Mr Pollen's sister to pick them up when they were attacked

Timmy Sullivan, 19, from Barking, and 25-year-old Michael Onokah, from Ilford, were found guilty of wounding both students with intent.

They were also found guilty of the grievous bodily harm with intent of Mr Griffiths by a jury at Woolwich Crown Court in southeast London.

The pair, both painters and decorators, were cleared of murdering Mr Pollen.

A 17-year-old youth from Stratford, who was 16 at the time of the attack, has already pleaded guilty to murder and grievous bodily harm with intent.

Mr Pollen, of Buckhurst Hill, Essex, was in his second year at Southampton University studying media when he died.

Mr Griffiths, a Durham University medical student from Chigwell, Essex, was treated in hospital for his injuries and later discharged.

He has called for a change in the law to make it a more serious offence to carry a knife.

"Because of a knife my life will never be the same again, they have taken my best friend from me," he said.
