Nine people have been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of A Man who was stabbed in a case of Mistaken Identity .
Michael Anton O'Connor was attacked outside a property in Wilford Crescent West, The Meadows , Nottingham, shortly after 22:20 GMT on 10 November 2021.

Nottinghamshire Police said Mr O'Connor, who was also known as Anton, was stabbed to death in a pre-planned ambush by hired hit men.

Mother and son Carla and Michael Mcguire were linked to The Group and lived next to where Mr O'Connor was murdered.
She was accused of turning off CCTV at her property just before The Attack was carried out.
Sheard, who is also her son, was Ward's right-hand man.
Police said Taylor sent a team of dealers from Manchester to Nottingham to carry out the murder.
Boscombe was part of The Team along with Agboola and Mingoes.
Mingoes was believed to have dealt the fatal blow.
Usherwood's role was setting up The Ambush by meeting The Intended target on The Morning of the murder.
'Cowardly'Police said it was " a hugely complex investigation" which saw 23 People arrested.
Officers viewed 786 hours of footage from 212 CCTV cameras.
Det Ch Insp Rob Routledge, who led The Investigation for Nottinghamshire Police , said: " Anton was asked to act as a peacemaker between two feuding groups - and it cost him his life.
" He was ambushed by A Number of masked up men who were heavily armed.
" Anton was unarmed and his killing was therefore cowardly in the extreme. "
