A 16-year-old boy accused of abducting, raping and murdering a six-year-old girl sent a video of himself to friends with the message “found the guy who’s done it”, a court has heard.
Giving evidence, a 16-year-old girl who was good friends with the accused said Alesha MacPhail going missing was discussed in a Snapchat group of around 25 friends on Monday 2 July.
The schoolgirl had been staying in the house her father shared with her grandparents on the Isle of Bute when she was reported missing shortly after 6am.
