Former police officer Derek Chauvin has been found guilty of the murder of George Floyd.

The jury found Chauvin guilty of all charges, second and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, after he knelt on the neck of 46-year-old Mr Floyd for about nine minutes last year.

Mr Floyd’s death, which was caught on camera, sparked worldwide protests about police brutality and racial injustice.
