CCTV of two of Peter Cairns’ killers after 26-year-old was attacked
Mr Cairns was stabbed in the chest when he and his friend confronted a group of armed teenagers after the boys were told to keep moving.
West Mercia Police have now released CCTV footage of the teenagers, then aged 14 and 15, before and after the attack.
The clips show the three joining a gang meeting a group of teenagers for a pre-arranged fight between two rival gangs in the Woodside area of the city.
During the trial at Stafford Crown Court, the jury heard how they were part of the TF7 gang which gathered weapons to take on members of the rival TF3 gang.

All three teenagers guilty of murdering Mr Cairns – who cannot be named for legal reasons – had weapons with them; knife, blunt samurai sword, wheel clamp and hammer.
Two were then seen after the attack fleeing the scene before being caught on film laughing and mimicking their actions as their victim died.
One of the boys who delivered the blow that killed Mr Cairns admitted murder, while the other two were found guilty at the end of the trial.
