Two charged for robbing student

Two men have been found guilty of robbing a Malaysian student as they pretended to help him during last summer's riots in London.

Twenty-year-old Ashraf Rossli, 20, had been in the UK for just a month when he was attacked on August 8 in Barking.

Reports say as he lay injured, 22-year-old John Kafunda, and 24-year-old Reece Donovan stole items from his bag.

Both were found guilty of robbery and violent disorder at Wood Green Crown Court.

Donovan was also found guilty of theft and burglary.

The judge told the men they should expect lengthy custodial sentences when they are sentenced on March 13.
