A 21-year-old Dublin man was today convicted of the manslaughter of a young electronic technician who was randomly stabbed as he stood outside a house in a north Dublin suburb in 2001.

After four hours deliberating their verdict at the Central Criminal Court, the jury of five women and seven men found Stephen Kelly of Westpark, Artane, Dublin not guilty of murder but guilty of the manslaughter of Jonathan Guy, aged 21, of Belcamp Crescent, Priorswood outside a house at Newgrove Estate, Donaghmede, Dublin in March 2001.
