PRESS ASSOCIATION -- A teenager has been found guilty of luring his ex-girlfriend to a secluded wood and smashing in her skull with a rock.
Rebecca Aylward, 15, of Maesteg, near Bridgend, South Wales, was left lying face down in the rain after the vicious attack last October.
Joshua Davies, 16, lured her to a wood in nearby Aberkenfig, then attacked her with a rugby ball-sized rock, a Swansea Crown Court jury found.
He can be named after trial judge Mr Justice Lloyd Jones lifted an anonymity order.
The teenager listened without emotion as the jury delivered its 10-2 majority guilty verdict.
Members of Rebecca's family, sitting in the public gallery, cheered briefly.
Before Davies was taken away the judge told him what he could expect.
He said he would be held in "detention at Her Majesty's pleasure and you can expect a sentence of indefinite duration".
He added that he would fix a period of years that he would have to serve before being eligible for parole at the future sentencing hearing.
Afterwards the family of Rebecca said that they would never forget or forgive Davies. A statement said: "The pain and horror of losing Rebecca in such horrendous circumstances cannot be put into words."
