Man found guilty in Curtis Cheng case

A man said to have acted as the lookout when two men exchanged a gun later used to kill NSW Police accountant Curtis Cheng has been found guilty of a terror-related charge.

Mustafa Dirani, 25, pleaded not guilty to conspiring with others in 2015 to do acts in preparation, or planning, for a terrorist act.

Mr Cheng was shot and killed on October 2 in 2015 by 15-year-old Farhad Jabar in Parramatta.

The NSW Supreme Court jury at Dirani's retrial found him guilty on Thursday and Justice Peter Johnson adjourned the case to March 22.
