A teenager has been found guilty of stabbing to death an aspiring young rapper as three young children hid in the next room.
Thomas Brittain, a hip hop producer known as Twister, was found dead at his friend's house in Colchester in March.
The 26-year-old was attacked after two men broke into the property armed with a knife and a fake handgun, hoping to find drugs or cash.
Jurors at Chelmsford Crown Court found 18-year-old Jack Hummerstone, of no fixed address, guilty of murder and grievous bodily harm with intent.
Andre Vella, 19, from Kirby Cross, was cleared on both counts, although he was found guilty of aggravated burglary, a charge Hummerstone admitted.
Both men pleaded guilty to possession of an imitation firearm with intent to commit a criminal offence.
Detective Inspector Anne Cameron, of the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, said: "Tom was a well-respected musician who spent his last few months in fear of Hummerstone, resulting in him losing his flat, his possessions and ultimately his life.
"Hummerstone and Vella forced their way into a flat containing a young family, carrying a gun and a knife.
"They had no consideration of the impact their actions would have on such young children.
"The flat owner was ... stabbed on the hand and hit with the imitation gun. Tom was then repeatedly stabbed whilst he fought for his life. One of those wounds was fatal.
"This was a planned, callous, violent attack on a defenceless family and particularly Tom. His family have lost a much-loved brother and son, for which no justice will bring him back.
"My condolences go to the family and Tom's friends and I hope they are now able to grieve in peace."
Hummerstone and Vella will be sentenced later this month.
