Logan MacPhail, now 17, was convicted in August of murdering Holly Newton in Hexham, Northumberland. He attacked her because he was jealous that she was with someone else, and could not accept their relationship was over.
Holly was 15 when she was killed in the frenzied attack in January 2023. MacPhail, then 16, had stalked her as she walked around the town centre with friends, before following her into an alleyway and inflicting 36 injuries on her with a kitchen knife he had taken from home.
MacPhail was convicted of murder following a trial at Newcastle crown court in August, but reporting restrictions meant that neither his name nor the fact that he was Holly's ex-boyfriend could be reported.
