Teen jailed over knife murder of ex-girlfriend Holly Newton, 15

The teenager who stabbed 15-year-old Holly Newton to death in Northumberland was jailed for at least 17 years.
Logan MacPhail, 17, followed ex-girlfriend Holly through Hexham town centre in January 2023, before attacking her - inflicting 36 injuries in just over a minute.
A 16-year-old boy who was with Holly at the time and tried to help her was also stabbed, leaving him with injuries to his shoulder, arm, and thigh which needed surgery.
MacPhail was found guilty of murder and wounding with intent following a trial at Newcastle Crown Court. Following the convictions, the judge lifted restrictions protecting his identity.
The trial was told that MacPhail was "jealous" Holly was with a new boy and had also told a friend that MacPhail was "basically stalking her".
The judge, Mr Justice Hilliard, ordered him to be detained at His Majesty's pleasure - the juvenile equivalent of a life sentence - for a minimum of 17 years.
He told MacPahil: "You made a conscious decision to stab a 15-year-old girl to death with a knife that you were carrying unlawfully in a public place having followed her secretly around town for an hour, all because your relationship with her had ended.
"What happened in this case should not happen to any child or any parent.
"All those years ahead for a 15-year-old girl that she and they [her family] will never see."
