A police officer in Greece has been found guilty of the murder of a schoolboy in 2008 that sparked weeks of rioting.

A court in the town of Amfissa convicted Epaminondas Korkoneas, 38, of the culpable homicide of 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos.

He was killed during anti-government protests on 6 December 2008 in the Athens neighbourhood of Exarchia.

Korkoneas is expected to be sentenced later on Monday.
