Four men have been jailed for life for murdering a rapper in a fight sparked by a music video.
Mohammed Hussain, 22, Fahim Khan, 20, and brothers Javed and Rubel Miah, aged 21 and 19, all from Bedford, were found guilty at Luton Crown Court of killing rapper Isaac Stone, known as Dynamikk.
The attack on the 19-year-old happened in Costin Street, Bedford, in January.
Rubel Miah and Khan were also convicted of assault after Mr Stone's friend Shajidur Rahman's nose was sliced off.
All four were found guilty of two counts of carrying an offensive weapon, which were the two machetes used in the attack.
All four lived in Bedford - Hussain in Maitland Road, Khan in Fenlake Road and the Miah brothers in Costin Street, where the attack took place.
They drove around the town in a white Range Rover hired in Luton for £150 and armed themselves with knives and meat cleavers.
Mr Stone, with friends in a Vauxhall Corsa, left the car for what he believed would be a fist fight.
He was cornered in Costin Street by the armed gang and was punched and kicked repeatedly after being chased through the town.
Rubel Miah and Khan were also convicted of assault after Mr Stone's friend Shajidur Rahman's nose was sliced off.
Shajidur Rahman had part of his nose sliced off was left with deep scars to his face and head.
Mr Stone died after being stabbed four times, with one blow puncturing his lung.
The four were all found not guilty of the attempted murder of Mr Rahman, but Khan and Rubel Miah were convicted of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
Fahim Khan, Mohammed Hussain, Rubel Miah and Javed Miah were all found guilty.
All four were found guilty of two counts of carrying an offensive weapon, which were the two machetes used in the attack.
A scene from a YouTube video sparked the attack???
Prosecutor Vincent Coughlin QC said the motive for the "murderous attack" at 18:20 GMT on 25 January was not entirely clear.
But the day before, an amateur music video called "Go Missing" was posted on YouTube in which Mr Stone, Mr Rahman and others appeared.
In the course of the film, alcohol was sprayed over the name "Raz" that had been painted on a wall. "It upset someone," said the prosecutor.
The jury was shown CCTV footage that showed a fast-moving street brawl ending with Mr Stone being cornered behind a parked car.
He was pronounced dead in hospital at 19:15 GMT.
I'm surprised it wasn't plastered all over the papers as a 'racist' murder though.
Perhaps the Judge was the same one who presided over the murder of the young man at a bus stop near the University campus on Newham a few years ago. He didn't know the difference between asians and blacks either.
I haven't bothered to look at the video to see what else may be offensive as they are muslims, and are bound to get offended at something. It may be that he had a go at the Koran or Allah, or wanted to open a Peppa Pig toy shop next to a mosque.
To 'Dis' (disrespect) somebody is well up the list for punishment in their culture.
I'm surprised that they were outnumbered 4 to 2, and that only the black lad was killed.
Stone's mate is asian, when the odds were down to 4 against 1, and survival is long odds against, perhaps he only deserved 'a cutting' as he wasn't black.
Who knows?

What is the significance of hiring a white Range Rover for £150 in order to murder this guy? Is this what gangs do now?
