Youth found guilty in killing of Sikh businessman

Melbourne, Mar 4 (PTI) A 22-year-old youth has been found guilty by a New Zealand court of murdering a south Auckland- based Sikh businessman in 2008.

Anitelea Chan-Kee, who fired the fatal shot at liquor store owner Navtej Singh during an armed robbery, was found guilty by a jury in the High Court at Auckland.

However, five other accused -- Myron Felise, 22, Tino Felise, 19, Eti Filoa, 25, Walter McCarthy, 19, and Jason Naseri, 21 -- were found not guilty of both murder and manslaughter, the New Zealand Herald reported.

Mefiposeta Chan-Kee, 26, was discharged after being found not guilty of being an accessory after the killing.

Sentencing will be at the High Court on April 23.

The Indian was shot dead during a robbery at his Riverton liquor store in Manurewa East on June 7, 2008.
