In a tragic incident, Logan MacPhail, a 17-year-old boy, was found guilty of murdering his ex-girlfriend Holly Newton, 15. The attack occurred in Hexham, Northumberland, where MacPhail followed Holly through the town center and stabbed her 12 times, slashing her 19 times. Holly's mother had been so concerned about MacPhail that she contacted the police before the attack. The judge has now decided that MacPhail can be named. His sentencing is due to take place on 31 October and 1 November. Holly's mother paid tribute to her daughter, describing her as a 'funny and happy teenager who would do anything for anyone' and 'enormously self-confident' due to her love for dancing.
