Tempers flared in court today after a teenager admitted murdering a schoolgirl whose stabbed body was found on a pathway.

Leonne Weeks, 16, died of multiple stab wounds in January last year after her body was found on a pathway in Dinnington, South Yorkshire.

Police confirmed that Leonne and Heeley lived nearby to each other and knew each other through mutual friends but the full circumstances of her murder have not been disclosed.
