His killers Jaidee Bingham, 16, Eymaiyah Lee Bradshaw-McKoy, 16, and Mia Campos-Jorge, 17, posed for selfies before and after the horror.

Two of the teens also filmed themselves in the back of a car singing and dancing following Anthony’s death.

Police used the footage, pictures and messages shared between the trio to piece together their movements that night.

The killers, who are now aged 18, were all found guilty over Anthony’s death following a trial.

The court heard Bingham, Bradshaw-McKoy and Campos-Jorge were working for a county lines drug gang at the time of the horror.

On August 9, Bingham was tasked with finding a robber who had stolen drugs from one of the girls.

They believed Anthony knew what had happened and confronted him at 5am in central London.

After a row, Bingham and Bradshaw-McKoy chased the victim for over a mile as one of the girls wielded a car bumper.

Anthony was then repeatedly kicked and hit over the head with a glass bottle.

The thugs only left the scene when a member of public chased them off with a cricket bat.

Police found Anthony covered in blood in King’s Cross Station later that morning and were able to interview him before he died.

Officers tracked down the girls using CCTV then trawled through their mobiles to create a detailed picture of the attack.

Bingham was found guilty of murder while Bradshaw-McKoy and Campos-Jorge were convicted of manslaughter.

Detective Inspector Jim Barry, of the Met’s Specialist Crime North, who led this investigation, said: “This is a particularly callous murder that gives an insight into the ruthless brutality of county lines gangs.

“The ages of Bingham, Bradshaw-McKoy and Campos-Jorge are particularly shocking. But the fact that they were teenagers does not excuse their violent actions as part of a drug line that has brought fear and intimidation to London’s streets.

“They believed they had escaped justice, even posing for selfies together and laughing about what they had done. There is a sense of justice that officers were able to use these to place them at the scene of the crime.

“This verdict shows how the Met is taking the fight to criminal gangs and committed to getting justice for their victims.”
