Remy Gordon and Kami Carpenter were convicted of killing former Birmingham City academy player Cody Fisher on Boxing Day in 2022.
Two men have been found guilty of murdering footballer Cody Fisher, who was stabbed to death inside a Birmingham nightclub on Boxing Day in 2022.
Remy Gordon and Kami Carpenter had blamed each other for stabbing the 23-year-old former Birmingham City academy player, who died at the scene from a chest wound.
A 10-week trial was told Mr Fisher was attacked with a weapon smuggled through security into Digbeth’s Crane nightclub before a pre-planned “act of retribution” for a minor incident two days earlier.
Jurors at Birmingham Crown Court were told Gordon, of Cofton Park Drive, Birmingham, orchestrated the “awful revenge” after Mr Fisher made brief “unavoidable” contact with his back while leaving a club in Solihull on Christmas Eve.
Gordon, 23, was also found guilty of affray, while 22-year-old Carpenter, who was found guilty of murder by a majority of 10 to one, was found not guilty of the same charge at the Crane, relating to an attack on a friend of Mr Fisher.
Fellow defendant Reegan Anderson, 19, of no fixed address, was found not guilty of murder and not guilty of an alternative charge of manslaughter but guilty of affray and was bailed until a sentencing hearing after Easter.
Some family members in the public gallery cried and stormed out of the courtroom upon hearing the verdicts, which were delivered on Monday afternoon after jurors deliberated for more than 28 hours.
