A Moroccan asylum seeker has been convicted for the murder of pensioner Terence Carney who he stabbed six times in “revenge” for the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Ahmed Alid stabbed the 70-year-old to death in Hartlepool town centre early on October 15 – eight days after Hamas attacked Israel.

Alid was also found guilty of the attempted murder of his housemate Javed Nouri who he attacked in his bed minutes before attacking Carney.
