London: A British jury today has convicted three people of stabbing Lieutenant General Kuldeep Singh Brar in London last year.

A jury at London's Southwark Crown Court found Mandeep Singh Sandhu, Dilbag Singh and Harjit Kaur guilty of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Another suspect already pleaded guilty.

Lieutenant General Brar had sustained a neck wound in what prosecutors called "a highly premeditated assault" as he walked with his wife in London in September 2012.

Prosecutors said the attack on the 78-year-old was revenge for his role in the 1984 assault on the Golden Temple in Amritsar, in which more than 1,000 people were killed.

The convicts will be sentenced in September this year.
