A man who murdered a teenager yards from his home has been jailed for at least 34 years.

Bristol Crown Court heard Eddie Kinuthia, 19, was ambushed and stabbed multiple times in St Pauls, Bristol, in July 2023. A leg wound proved fatal and he died in hospital.

On Thursday, a jury found Zachariah Talbert-Young, from Easton, guilty of murdering Mr Kinuthia. The 27-year-old was also convicted of trying to murder a second teenager, Nathan Williams, 19, while on bail and was sentenced to a minimum of 20 years for that crime.

Paul Hayden, 22, from Hanham, was also jailed for a minimum of 18 years for the attempted murder of Mr Williams. He was previously cleared of murdering Mr Kinuthia.

During the trial the jury were told 150 people had been attending a community event in St Pauls on 21 July.

Two masked men, one of which was Talbert-Young, dressed in black arrived on an electric bike and Mr Kinuthia was stabbed.

Mr Kinuthia was stabbed as many as six times, the trial was told.

Mr Kinuthia’s mother, Irene Muthemba, took to the witness stand in court to address Talbert-Young directly.

“Eddie is a treasured memory of our family, held dearly,” she said.

“Just imagine if your parents had gone out of your way to buy you those suits for your graduation instead of for a murder trial.

“You can be sure you won’t be needing them for a very, very long time.”
