TWO people have been found guilty of being involved in a raid in which a Suffolk jeweller was stabbed to death.
Peter Avis, 66, was killed in the flat above his Bury St Edmunds shop in January.
Today a jury at Ipswich Crown Court found Pawel Borowiecki, 31, of Roslyn Road, London, and Aleksandra Karpiuk, 27, of Lake Avenue, Bury St Edmunds, guilty of conspiracy to burgle.
Another man, Pyotr Melaniuk, has already admitted murder and burglary.
Ms Karpiuk was also found guilty of a charge of assisting an offender.
The pair will be sentenced at a later date.
