Two men that plotted to kidnap, rob and kill soul singer Joss Stone was found guilty in England Wednesday.

Kevin Liverpool, 35, and Junior Bradshaw, 32, received unanimous guilty verdict after the jury deliberated for 4 hours in the Exeter Crown Court.

Judge Francis Gilbert sentenced Liverpool to life imprisonment with a minimum of 10 years in jail, while Bradshaw's sentencing was delayed.

"You intended to rob her and kill her and dump her body in the river, according to your words, and then leave the country with your accomplice Junior Bradshaw," the judge said.

Bradshaw and Liverpool denied conspiracy against Stone after their arrest in June 2011. However they were found near Stone's home in Devon, England armed with a samurai sword, hammers, a metal spike and knife.

"This has been a long and difficult investigation. While on the face of it the circumstances speak for themselves, the enquiry has involved some complex areas of law and presented significant challenges to the investigation team." Superintendent Steve Parker also thanked "Stone, her family and management for their ongoing support and assistance to the investigation team throughout this investigation, despite the distressing and disturbing nature of the events which were being uncovered."

"I'd like to thank everyone for all their support and kind wishes," she said in a statement.

"I am relieved the trial is now over and that these men are no longer in a position to cause harm to anyone."
