A man has been found guilty of murdering another man at a kickboxing gym.
Charles Riddington, 37, was convicted by a jury at London's Old Bailey this morning of killing George Barker, from South Darenth, near Dartford.
The 24-year-old suffered fatal stab wounds at the Double K Gym in Bexley in November 2016.
Jurors returned the guilty verdict following a two-week trial.
Riddington, from Orpington, south London, is now awaiting sentence for the murder and a further charge of possessing a stun gun and CS spray.
He was arrested in northern Cyprus last August after going on the run. Police issued a £10,000 reward for his capture.
Mr Barker, a regular at the gym, was found with severe injuries after the attack at the business in Stable Lane.
More as we get it.
