Obsessed teen who stalked ex before luring her into alleyway & knifing her 36 times is named

The obsessed teen who stalked and murdered schoolgirl Holly Newton has been unmasked for the first time as her ex-boyfriend. Logan MacPhail, 17, stabbed the 15-year-old 36 times in a darkened alley just days after she dumped him. He was consumed by jealousy when she ended their 18-month relationship and followed her for 45 minutes before attacking her with a kitchen knife. MacPhail was convicted of murder in August but could not be identified due to his age. A judge has now ruled he can be named and photographed meaning that details of their “toxic” relationship can finally be revealed. The twisted teen will be sentenced later this month when he will be given a life term for killing Holly on January 27 last year.
