Bailey Gwynne's Killer Jailed For Nine Years Over Fatal Stabbing At Cults Academy

The teenager killer of Bailey Gwynne has been jailed for nine years for stabbing the 16-year-old to death during a "trivial" row at school.

Bailey died from a knife wound to the chest at Cults Academy in Aberdeen on October 28 last year.

A 16-year-old youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was convicted of culpable homicide last month after a jury at the High Court in Aberdeen ruled against a charge of murder following a five-day trial.

He was also found guilty of two other charges of having a knife and knuckledusters at the school.

At the High Court in Edinburgh on Friday, judge Lady Stacey ordered the killer to be detained for nine years, the Press Association reports.
