The 16-year-old who abducted and murdered a 6-year-old girl has appealed against the 27-year sentence handed to him by a judge who described him as “cold, callous, and remorseless.”

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