The jury heard weeks of evidence before deliberations began

Albanian Beher Limani, 26, one of the five defendants accused of violent disorder at the Yarl's Wood detention centre in Bedfordshire, was convicted at Harrow Crown Court on Thursday.

The jury is continuing to consider its verdicts over the remaining three defendants.

The flagfhip detention centre was ruined after a riot last February.

The jury of seven men and three women - two jurors were discharged due to ill-health - has been deliberating over the three-month trial for more than a week.

Nigerian asylum seekers Lucky Jacobs, 23, Kayode Abdul, 24, and Kosovo Albanian Jgergi Tuka, 25, all deny one charge of violent disorder.

On Wednesday, Nigerian Henry Momodou, 39, was found guilty of violent disorder but not guilty of arson.

Limani and Momodu have been remanded in custody and will be sentenced at the end of the trial.
