year, she had finished school and went into hexham to spend time with friends. and gone into hexham to spend time with friends. but what she didn't know was that as she walked around the northumberland town, she was being followed by her her ex—boyfriend, logan macphail. after tracking her for 45 minutes, dressed all in black, the 16—year—old spoke to holly outside a pizza shop. less than 15 minutes later he went into an alleyway. he tried to lure her in. at first, holly hesitated, but eventually, she did. macphail attacked her with a knife. another boy attempted to stop him. the boy tried to help holly by running into the alleyway, grabbing her attacker and putting him in a headlock, but he was stabbed four times in the leg and shoulder. the injuries holly received, however, were catastrophic. injust one minute, she suffered 36 injuries. she was stabbed 12 times, suffered i9 slash wounds and had
5:37 pm
and had five further wounds to her hands where she tried to defend herself. the attack was so brutal and sustained that the knife broke during it and it only ended when passers—by ran in and intervened. holly was taken to hospital, where she died. macphail had become increasingly controlling and obsessed with holly, and couldn't accept their relationship was over. the night before he killed holly, he got the bus to haltwhistle he'd got the bus to haltwhistle and made his way to her house. he waited outside for hours in the freezing cold, begging one of her siblings to let him in. as a result, holly's mum arranged a meeting with officers the following afternoon, a meeting holly would never attend. she'd said, "but i was supposed to be going out with my friends tonight." and she'd begged me for a good, i don't know, half an hour, 45 minutes, "but, mam, i want to go out. he ruins everything for me."
5:38 pm
macphail claimed he'd been carrying a knife for more than a week because he planned to hurt himself, not holly, and that he had no recollection of the attack. but the jury didn't believe him and he was found guilty of her murder at the end of august. holly's family say she was a victim of domestic abuse, but because in the eyes of the law, she was a child, it was recorded as knife crime. the only connection it's got is the fact that he killed her with a knife. in all honesty, i think he would have killed her with anything, just so she couldn't be with anyone else, because it was all about control, obsession and passion. holly's family now say they want to see the law changed to reflect that she was yet another female murdered by a former partner. alison freeman without report. let's speak to andrea simon, who's the director of end violence against women coalition. thank you for being here on the programme. it is a terrible case, this. there were so many red flags, weren't there?— weren't there? absolutely. i think will be seen _ weren't there? absolutely. i think

5:40 pm
absolutely. i think sex education and relationships have to be family related. far more than what we offer the young people to recognise signs of unhealthy relationships and abuse. we live in a culture that is very much confirming that boys and men can be entitled to women's bodies and their affection and their time, and it's a culture that enables men to react with violence when they feel rejected. that has fundamentally got to change and the government have been talking about a addressing this in terms of their mission to have violence against women —— half ——, and an avalanche of online misogyny infecting women in their

with domestic abuse. police have a long way to go as well to prove their responses to domestic abuse, including their ability to be able to appropriately assess the levels of risk to women and girls. we often see they don't actually understand the extent risk that a girl was experiencing when they have an abusive partner. all agencies, including police, have to be trained and better equipped to identify these red flags we've been talking about and respond rapidly. we do know worryingly, younger girls are often dismissed or minimised in the report, and that's not good enough. we have to believe young girls who report to the police or any agency. it seems to be happening more frequently. i it seems to be happening more frequently-— it seems to be happening more freauentl . ,, ., , frequently. i think we are seeing risin: frequently. i think we are seeing rising reports — frequently. i think we are seeing rising reports as _ frequently. i think we are seeing rising reports as a _ frequently. i think we are seeing rising reports as a whole. - frequently. i think we are seeing rising reports as a whole. we'rel rising reports as a whole. we're seeing a report rising of sexual
