A 21-year-old man has been convicted of the murder of Lewis McCartney in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old was found with serious injuries on Viewcraig Street around 3.45am on Sunday, 12 February, 2023. He was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh where he died a short time later.<\/p>\n

Bailey Dowling was found guilty of murder at the High Court in Edinburgh on Thursday, 17 April, 2025. He will be sentenced at a later date.<\/p>\n

Detective Chief Inspector George Calder said: \u201cMy thoughts remain with Lewis\u2019 family and friends as they continue to try to come to terms with what happened. I hope the verdict will bring them some form of justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cDowling now faces the consequences of his actions which resulted in the death of Lewis, a young man with a bright future ahead of him, who was supported by such a loving and caring family.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch violent crimes have no place in our local communities, I would ask those who chose to carry weapons to think long and hard and understand the horrific consequences which may result in their actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to thank the public for their support during our investigation\u201d<\/p>\n
