A teenager who stabbed his 15-year-old ex-girlfriend to death in the street has been detained for life with a minimum term of 17 years. 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. Mr Justice Hilliard, sentencing, said MacPhail, who has autism and learning difficulties, did not accept his and Holly’s 18-month relationship was over.
