Today (10 November), two teenage boys have been convicted of murdering 15-year-old Luis Guembes in Guildford in January 2026.

Officers were called to woodland off Lido Road in Stoke Park at 6.10pm on Monday, 19 January, following reports of a stabbing at the location.

Sadly, despite the best efforts of emergency services and members of the public, Luis was pronounced dead at the scene.

Following a three-week trial at Guildford Crown Court, two 16-year-old boys from Guildford (who cannot be named for legal reasons) have been found guilty of murder.

The first defendant was also found guilty of conspiracy to commit robbery and possession of a bladed article.

The second defendant had previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery and possession of a bladed article at a hearing at Guildford Crown Court on Friday, 26 June 2026.

Both will be sentenced at Guildford Crown Court at a later date.
