Four 17-year-old boys have been locked up for the 'ferocious' killing of another teenager who gatecrashed a girl's 16th Airbnb birthday party.
Lewis Blackman, 19, known as 'Dotty', was part of a group of ten men who turned up uninvited at a flat party in Kensington, southwest London, February 18 last year.
He was stabbed 13 times after being chased from the flat in the early hours of the morning.
Following trials at the Old Bailey, three youths, who were 16 at the time, were found guilty of murder and a fourth of manslaughter.

Judge Anthony Leonard QC lifted reporting restrictions on the defendant's identities as he sentenced them.
Demario Williams, who played a 'pivotal role' in the murder, was detained at Her Majesty's pleasure for at least 20 years.
Lawrence Nkunku-Linongi, who had a previous conviction for carrying a 'Rambo-style knife', and Paul Glasgow, were handed minimum terms of 18 years.
And Thierry Edusei, who had been on bail on suspicion of violent offences at the time, was handed 11 years for manslaughter.
Judge Leonard told them: 'Whilst it has to be accepted Lewis Blackman was himself acting aggressively that night, he did not deserve to die.
'His mother described him as a fun, popular and compassionate person, good at sports and loved his music.
'It's hard to comprehend the savagery, so plain to see in the CCTV footage, that was meted out by 16-year-olds.'
The judge said the murder was aggravated by the fact it was a 'sustained and ferocious attack' while the victim was running away.
The court had heard how Mr Blackman arrived uninvited at the party, which was being held at a flat rented for the occasion from Airbnb, after invitations were circulated on social media, particularly Snapchat.

The birthday girl hoped about 50 people her age would attend her party.
She was cautious to only invite guests from Hackney, east London, and avoid boys from Camden because of 'history' between the groups from those areas.
But Mr Blackman was among ten people from the north-west London borough who turned up.
The victim was armed with a knife and his friend possessed a firearm when they attempted to force their way into the party, the court heard.
CCTV cameras caught a larger group of party-goers, some also armed with knives, chasing Mr Blackman along the residential streets of Earls Court before they caught and stabbed him repeatedly.
Mr Blackman died at the scene, suffering multiple stab wounds, including two to the chest.
Jurors were told the group's 'crazed expressions' had been replaced by a 'triumphant swagger' as they returned to the flat where the party was being held, 'visibly excited'.
Investigating officer Detective Chief Inspector Mark Cranwell, of Scotland Yard, said: 'There is no excuse for the violence that Lewis Blackman was subjected to.
'The group who attacked him, all of them teenage boys, acted with almost unimaginable ferocity by inflicting 14 stab wounds.
'To then be captured laughing and joking to themselves in apparent triumph as another young man lay bleeding to death is beyond comprehension.
'Now four young men will spend some of the best and most promising years of their lives in prison when they could have been doing something positive and productive.
'Lewis' family have been left grieving for the loss of a young life taken far too soon.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
