Two males found guilty of the murder of 17-year-old Jodie Chesney are due to be sentenced today (Monday, November 18).

Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and a 17-year-old defendant, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were both found guilty of murdering the scout after she was stabbed in the back on March 1.

Both males entered Amy's Park in Harold Hill at around 9.20pm, moments before Jodie was attacked from behind. The two fled from the scene as her friends and emergency services tried to save her.

Tragically, she was pronounced dead just an hour later.

It took a jury of 12 just over five hours to decide that Ong-a-Kwie and the 17-year-old, who had been on trial for eight weeks, were both guilty of murder.

Manuel Petrovic, 20, and another unnamed teenager, who is 16, were both cleared of murder and manslaughter.
