A 22-year-old man has been found guilty of murdering Harry Potter actor Rob Knox.

The 18-year-old actor was stabbed to death outside the Metro Bar in Sidcup, Kent, last May.

Karl Bishop was today found guilty at the Old Bailey of killing the teenager. He was also found guilty of two counts of wounding with intent and one count of unlawful killing.

He had previously denied the charges claiming he was acting in self-defence.

During the trial the prosecution alleged Bishop had armed himself with two knives and was "running amok".

It was claimed Rob was attempting to protect his younger brother when he was stabbed in the incident.

The 18-year-old had just finishing filming the role of Marcus Belby in the upcoming Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince.

Bishop is due to be sentenced tomorrow.
