Alesha MacPhail's killer is named and pictured for the first time

The 16-year-old boy convicted of raping and murdering Alesha MacPhail was today named as Aaron Campbell.

The depraved teenager from the Isle of Bute had received anonymity due to his age - but a judge has now decided to overturn this. 

He was told that the rape, murder and abduction of the six-year-old girl on July 2 last year was among the 'wickedest' crimes that Glasgow High Court had ever heard.

Judge Lord Matthews, who presided over the nine-day trial, held a hearing today to decide if anonymity should be lifted, which was attended by Campbell and dozens of journalists and lawyers.

Campbell appears to be egotistical and obsessed with the number of people who subscribed to his YouTube channel.

In a short film he thanked 50 people for watching his trampolining videos where he filmed himself doing backflips.

In a cringeworthy piece to camera he says: 'Yo. What's up guys. It's Aaron Campbell here. I've got 50 subscribers, thank you, although I'm nearly at 80 it's a rounder number. 

'This video is going to be a 50 subscriber special of some cool trampoline tricks for you'.
