    The 14-year-old Dunedin teen responsible for a fatal stabbing of another boy at the city's bus hub, has been found guilty of manslaughter

    The 14-year-old Dunedin teen responsible for a fatal stabbing of another boy at the city's bus hub, has been found guilty of manslaughter


    16-year-old Enere Taana-McLaren died last May.

    The jury entered its third day of deliberations today, deciding whether to convict the boy of murder, or manslaughter.

    The Crown had argued the accused deliberately attacked the victim with a knife.

    But the Defence pleaded self-defence, and pushed the jury to consider the boy's trauma, and attempts to protect himself.
