'This should not happen to any child or parent'
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 he attacked her in Hexham, Northumberland, in January 2023.
MacPhail, then aged 16 and now 17, had admitted manslaughter but was found guilty of murdering Holly and intentionally wounding another youth who tried to stop the attack.
Handing down a life sentence with a minimum term at Newcastle Crown Court, Judge Mr Justice Hilliard said MacPhail was "filled with resentment" and intended to kill Holly in the "vicious and brutal" attack.
