22-year-old Karl Bishop has been convicted of the murder of Rob Knox, the Harry Potter actor who plays Marcus Belby in the upcoming sequel, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince.
Knox was attacked and fatally wounded last May when Karl Bishop stabbed Rob and four of his friends 10 times with a kitchen knife outside of a bar in south east London.
Awful!!
Prosecutors argued in the late Knox’s defense, saying his murderer was a “‘habitual knife carrier’ who believed stabbing people was an ‘occupational hazard.'” Bishop, who has previously been convicted of brandishing a knife, is to be sentenced on Thursday.
Our thoughts go out to the Knox family.
