Two Salford men have been sentenced to eight years for manslaughter following the death of a man in 2022.
Lilner Netto and Benson Jones, both of Salford, were found guilty of the manslaughter of Alan Szelugowski, 17, who died in Clowes Park, Salford, in January 2022.
Maciej Mikolajczyk, 18, of Manchester, was convicted of murder at Manchester Crown Court and ordered to serve at least 20 years.
Officers from Greater Manchester Police seized of a number of objects – including two pairs of trainers, belonging to Mikolajczyk and Jones – found to contain Alan’s blood and mobile phones found to contain telling messages between the three defendants.
Detective Chief Inspector Gareth Davies, of GMP’s Major Incident Team, said: “Our thoughts remain with Alan’s loved ones, who are understandably devastated. We hope today’s result gives them a sense of closure.
“This was a really violent attack – Alan was found with more than 20 injuries, five of which would have killed him. There is no doubt that this issue could have been resolved without weapons.
“These boys will now spend 36 years and several key milestones behind bars – I really hope this sentence makes those who carry knives think twice before they leave the house.”
