Knifeman convicted of actor's murder

A 22-year-old man who stabbed young Harry Potter actor Rob Knox to death outside a bar in south-east London has been found guilty of murder.

Karl Bishop from Sidcup, stabbed the 18-year-old actor after a fight outside the Metro Bar last May.

Bishop denied the murder charge and five counts of wounding at the the Old Bailey.

Karl Bishop, whose face was "screwed up with rage," armed himself with two kitchen knives to confront Rob and his friends, witnesses said.

Mr Knox was stabbed five times when he defended his younger brother Jamie from Bishop. He died in hospital later that night.

Bishop was also convicted of wounding Mr Knox's friend Dean Saunders, 23. But he was found not guilty of wounding another friend, Tom Hopkins, 19.

Mr Knox, from Swanley, Kent, played the part of Marcus Belby in the film Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince.
