Derek Chauvin has been convicted of murder after kneeling on George Floyd for more than nine minutes, in a landmark trial heralded as a turning point for police accountability in the US.

The former officer was on trial for second-degree murder, second-degree manslaughter and third-degree murder.

Mr Chauvin showed little emotion as the verdict was read out in the courtroom in downtown Minneapolis. His sentence will be determined at a later date.
