Teen who murdered ex gets life

Logan MacPhail, then aged 16, stalked Holly Newton for an hour through Hexham, Northumberland, before knifing her 36 times in an alleyway.

CCTV showed him wearing a snood and a baseball cap and ducking out of sight as he followed Holly and her friends around the town centre.

He also stabbed a teenage boy who intervened to try to stop the attack, which was so savage that the weapon broke and the blade snapped.

MacPhail was convicted of murder following a trial at Newcastle Crown Court in August and sentenced at the same court yesterday.

Last month the judge lifted a reporting restriction which had prevented the media from identifying him due to his age.
