Three men have been found guilty of kidnapping, stabbing and burning alive a teenage boy in a racially motivated attack.
Kriss Donald's scarred and partially-clothed body was found on the Clyde Walkway in the east end of Glasgow, near Celtic FC's training ground, on March 16, 2004. Imran Shahid, 29, his brother Zeeshan Shahid, 28, and Mohammed Faisal Mushtaq, 27, were found guilty by a court in Edinburgh.
As the verdict was delivered, Kriss's mother Angela shouted: "You bastards!"
All three had denied the racially aggravated murder of the Glasgow schoolboy on March 15, 2004.
They abducted Kriss and forced him into a vehicle in Kenmure Street, Pollokshields, repeatedly stabbing him and setting him on fire while he was still alive.
A jury at the High Court in Edinburgh took eight hours to find the three men guilty of his murder.
Imran Shahid, Zeeshan Shahid and Faisal Mushtaq During the trial, prosecutor Mark Stewart QC described the killing as "an appalling crime of inhumanity against a defenceless boy".
Over the 27 days of the trial, the court heard Kriss's badly burnt and semi-naked body was found by a cyclist on the secluded Clyde Walkway the morning after he was snatched from the street.
Investigators who rushed to the scene found pools of blood, a stench of petrol and scorch marks near the spot where the lifeless body lay.
Expert witnesses said they believed the 15-year-old was still alive as his body burned.
Kriss was snatched near his home in a random act of racially motivated revenge by the gang.
He was taken on a terrifying 200-mile journey across Scotland before being driven to a secluded spot on the banks of the River Clyde where he was attacked and left for dead.
The gang was snared by eye-witness accounts of the abduction, mobile phone records and forensic evidence against one of the men.

You thinks correctly.
There's three that we won't have to worry about. What a senseless tragedy.
More like the religion of pieces. As in, "We'll chop you to pieces if you don't convert."
Yes, all three of these murderers are muslims. Good to see them found guilty but 25 and 22 years is not enough for these race hate crimes.
Ah isnt multiculturism grand!!!! Leftest here can now push this stuff, along with the murder of innocent babies because Pelosi and Reid can say that we want it this way. The liberal news media wont show these stories. Sad - but its going to get much worse.
Prayers for this innocent boy and his family.
For many centuries there haven't been any immigrants to Scotland (or Scandinavia, etc.), except a few English and Vikings. Now suddenly there is scum from the Islamic hellholes of Asia all over the place. Who let these people in? Why, the Left, of course. Another demonstration that Leftism is the ideology of Western suicide.
There is no death penalty, and they only got 22-25 years and probably will be let go before that ... so we DO have to worry them.
