Incredibly depressing that a kid his age could do such a thing... :(
Luke Mitchell, 16, faces life imprisonment for the "the most gruesome killing of recent years" after he was found guilty of murdering Jodi Jones in June 2003.
A jury of eight women and seven men took just five hours to convict Mitchell, who was 14 at the time of the crime, after a 42-day trial at the High Court in Edinburgh - the longest single-accused murder trial in Scottish legal history.
The victim, who was described as a "caring" and "thoughtful" schoolgirl, was killed after going to meet her boyfriend, who lived less than a mile from her home in Dalkeith, Midlothian
