THIS is the haunting moment a twisted teen killer lured his 15-year-old ex-girlfriend into an alleyway before stabbing her 36 times. Logan MacPhail , then aged 16, was captured in chilling CCTV stalking Holly Newton for 45 minutes after she broke up with him. He was seen chatting with the schoolgirl in a bus stop after she reluctantly agreed to hear him out.
Footage released by police today shows Holly looking hesitant as MacPhail wanders into an alley. She then pauses for a moment before following the teen in - unaware he was hiding a knife. Just seconds later, MacPhail, now aged 17, stabbed her "many, many times".

Sentencing, Mr Justice Hilliard said MacPhail was "filled with resentment and jealousy" and lured Holly to the alley to "attack her out of sight". He last month ruled the teen could be named despite his age - meaning details of his and Holly's "toxic" relationship could be revealed for the first time.
The pair met three years before the brutal killing when they both attended Army Cadets in Consett, County Durham. Most read in The Sun They embarked on a relationship but would regularly argue and broke up on a number of occasions. MacPhail was a troubled teen who suffered with educational needs and autism that required him to attend a specialist school.
On January 21 last year - six days before the murder - Holly ended thin.
