The teenage boy who murdered a 6-year-old girl on a rural Scottish island has had his record-breaking sentence reduced on appeal.

In one of the most high-profile cases for decades in Scotland, Aaron Campbell was sentenced on March 21 to 27 years in prison for the abduction, sexual assault, and murder of Alesha MacPhail, 6, on the Isle of Bute last summer.
