The Supreme Court jury sitting at Griffith retired on Tuesday morning to consider its decision and delivered a guilty verdict about 2.30pm.
A sentencing hearing will be held on November 25.
Mr Power was murdered by Blundell’s mate, Owen Fuller, after refusing to hand over money he received for selling a generator stolen by Blundell and Fuller from a Spring Creek Road business on August 7, 2013.
That crime eventuated in Mr Power’s murder three weeks later when he refused to give Fuller a cut of the money he obtained from selling a generator taken in the raid. Fuller became so angry he bashed Mr Power to death with a tomahawk on August 29.
He was found dying on Wombat Street by a woman taking her dogs for a walk.
Fuller was jailed for 24 and a half years for the murder and other offences.
Justice Rothman described the tomahawk killing of Mr Power as frenzied.
