A third man has been convicted of the manslaughter of 22-year-old Kai Davis after he was extradited from Spain.

Kai Davis was stabbed in the chest outside Kingston's night club Pryzm on 21 August 2021. He collapsed minutes later outside Premier Inn in the town centre.

Detective Inspector Mike Nolan, the lead investigator, said: "Although, Oliver Barker-Perez did not inflict the fatal blow, he was well aware that his friend intended to cause serious harm to Kai Davis."

A trial at Kingston Crown Court heard that Barker-Perez had provided his top to Ben Myles (convicted of murder) who inflicted the fatal stab wound, to conceal Myles' identity.

The prosecution's case was, through his presence with Myles, before and during the fatal confrontation, Barker-Perez encouraged him in his actions and, at the very least, he intended that Myles would cause Kai Davis very serious harm.

The case against Barker-Perez, who was convicted of manslaughter of Kai, was painstakingly pieced together by homicide detectives from the Met's specialist crime.

DI Nolan said: "This investigation has taken two years and I am glad that all the people involved in this fatal attack have now been brought to justice.

"The murder of Kai Davis is another example of the mindless act of knife crime in London, that leaves a trail of devastation for the victim's family and friends."

The jury were shown the evidence of the group's movements before the murder. Barker-Perez accompanied Myles to an alleyway minutes before the stabbing to collect knives they had stored and which were later to be used in the attack on Kai.

Barker-Perez fled the country after the fatal stabbing on 21 August 2021.

After an extradition warrant was put out for his arrest, he was detained by Spanish authorities.

Barker-Perez was charged with murder after being extradited back to the UK on 11 November 2022.

Barker-Perez will be sentenced on Monday, 2 October.
