A “jealous” teenager who stabbed his 15-year-old ex-girlfriend to death has been detained for at least 17 years.

Logan MacPhail stalked Holly Newton for almost an hour before attacking her in Hexham, Northumberland in January 2023.

MacPhail, then 16 and now 17, admitted manslaughter but was found guilty of Holly’s murder and the intentional wounding of another youth who tried to stop the attack.

Handing down a life sentence with a minimum term at Newcastle Crown Court, Judge Hilliard said MacPhail was “filled with resentment” and intended to kill Holly in the “vicious and brutal” attack.
