Final tragic moments of aspiring drill rapper Mikey Roynon

Footage shows the final moments of aspiring drill rapper Mikey Roynon before he was stabbed to death by a teenager with a zombie knife at a house party.

The youth, identified for the first time today as Shane Cunningham, 16, fatally stabbed Roynon, also 16, in the back of the neck during a row in the garden, jurors were told.

Cunningham was convicted of murder in March while two friends were convicted of manslaughter after being acquitted of the more serious charge.

But the judge only lifted reporting restrictions protecting the defendants’ identities after they were sentenced at Bristol Crown Court.

Jurors were shown CCTV footage from a bus, which showed the three defendants arriving in Bath for the party after travelling from Wiltshire.

What appears to be sharp objects can be seen beneath the defendants’ tops

In the footage, what appeared to be sharp objects were shown beneath the defendants’ tops – which the prosecution said showed the boys arrived at the party armed.

A teenager, who was also at the party and gave evidence during the trial, said Mikey told him he thought he was going to die after being stabbed.

The two co-accused, Cartel Bushnell and Leo Knight, also 16, received sentences of nine years and nine-and-a-half years’ youth detention, while Cunningham was ordered to serve a minimum term of 16 years in custody.

About 50 people were at the party at the property in Bath, Somerset, in June last year.

Witnesses said that about nine or 10 boys had pulled weapons ‘like swords and zombie knives’, the jury heard.

The defendants left the scene and later disposed of their weapons, and two were recovered by the police.

The trio, who are all 16, took knives to a teenage girl’s 16th birthday party. The event was crashed by 200 people after it was advertised on social media. Pictured: Roynon

Two of them had pleaded guilty to possessing a bladed article. Knight denied this charge, but was found guilty of it by the jury.

During the trial Cunningham claimed he was acting in self-defence when he stabbed Mikey after claiming Mikey had swung a knife towards his friends in the garden of the property.

Passing sentence, Mr Justice Saini praised Mikey’s family for their dignity during the trial.

‘I have this morning heard the moving victim personal statements from Mikey’s mother, father and grandmother,’ he said.

‘On the day Mikey was killed he was only 16 and still a child. His family have suffered a loss that is unimaginable.

‘Mikey had a big musical career ahead of him and although he faced a number of challenges in his life, his future was promising.’

The judge went on: ‘Bristol and its surrounding areas are in the middle of a plague of knife crime. That plague has continued since this trial concluded.

‘The lives of boys who carry knives continue to be taken by those who also carry knives.’
