A self-confessed robber has been found guilty of his role in a botched gangland assassination that left a little girl with a bullet lodged in her brain.

Javon Riley, 33, helped a Tottenham Turks gunman escape after firing six times at the Evin restaurant in Dalson, east London, on May 29 last year.

Tottenham Turk kingpins ordered the hit on rival Hackney Turks members, who were sat on a table outside, prosecutors said.

But the first bullet missed and hit a nine-year-old girl, who cannot be identified, in the head as she was inside eating ice cream with her family.

Police said it was a 'miracle' she did not die and were just 'millimetres' away from launching a murder investigation.
