A man has been convicted of a gang murder in north-west London but the case has once again highlighted the prevalence of videos on YouTube which play a part in stoking tensions between rival groups.

On Friday, Courtney Ellis was found guilty after a retrial at the Old Bailey of the murder of Craig Small, who was shot dead outside a chicken shop not far from London’s Wembley Stadium on July 5, 2019.
