A jury has convicted an 83-year-old US man of murder after he shot an Uber driver who he wrongly thought was trying to rob him after scam phone calls deceived them both.

William J Brock, of Ohio, shot Lo-Letha Toland-Hall after assuming she was in on a plot to get 12,000 dollars (£9,000) in supposed bond money for a relative, authorities said.
