A 20-year-old man has admitted taking part in riots following the deaths of two teenage boys.

Ryan Knight, from Splott in Cardiff, pleaded guilty to involvement in the unrest, described as "unlawful violence for a common purpose" in the city's Ely area in May 2023.

Kyrees Sullivan, 16, and his best friend Harvey Evans, 15, died in an e-bike crash in Ely, Cardiff, on 22 May 2023.

The disorder which followed continued until the early hours, leaving 31 police officers injured, property damaged and cars torched.

More than 40 people have been charged in connection with the riot after crowds of about 100 to 150 people gathered at the scene of the boys' deaths.
