He was found guilty of murdering Holly Newton in August

A schoolboy who stalked his ex-girlfriend before murdering her in a frenzied knife attack has been named for the first time today.

Wearing a black puffa jacket, black cap, tracksuit bottoms and trainers, the 6in knife was in the bag on his back. He boards at 1.41pm and is seen looking around as he gets off the No 10 bus from the MetroCentre in Hexham bus station, arriving at 3.13pm. He had been outside of Holly's home in Haltwhistle, Northumberland. Lifting the order today, Mr Justice Hillier said: "There is great public concern about murders by young people who have carried knives in public places and about violence to women and girls."

Holly's parents said their daughter's killing should be classed as a domestic violence offence, rather than a knife crime.
