A man has been found guilty of murdering a schoolgirl 30 years ago, after he adopted seven fake names to escape authorities
.
Nikki's tearful mum could barely speak as she stood on the steps at Newcastle Crown Court, before she was escorted into a nearby pub by friends and family.Nikki's sister, Stacey Allan, exited with her hands in the air and exclaimed: “Waited my whole life for this me, and we got guilty.” Once the verdict was read out, Boyd, dressed in a white T-shirt, barely flickered, apart from looking across the public gallery.
"I’m extremely proud of the investigative team and all those who played their part in securing this conviction. I further hope this sends a strong message that no matter how long ago an offence took place, we will do everything we can to see justice served." The jury heard how Boyd admitted to being the last person to see her alive, and matched the description of a man who was spotted by a passer by with a little girl 'skipping behind him.' Mrs Justice Lambert said the prosecution case relies on "circumstantial evidence".
