The three men convicted of murder over the fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery in the US have been found guilty of federal hate crimes and other lesser charges for violating Mr Arbery’s civil rights and targeting him because he was black.

In addition to the federal hate crimes, the jury also found father and son Greg and Travis McMichael and neighbour William “Roddie” Bryan guilty of attempted kidnapping, while the McMichaels were also found guilty of the use of a firearm in the commission of a crime.
