The boy has been sectioned (sent to psychiatric care):

This may well mean no trial (if he's unfit to plead.)

A post mortem Sunday has revealed the girl was stabbed to death. Police say the investigation is 'very complex'.

Despite my suggestion upthread, the accused has made a first court appearance:

Remanded to 'secure accommodation', which I think must mean the psychiatric issues are no longer the highest priority.

A 17-year-old boy with a fixation on the TV serial killer Dexter who murdered West Wickham teenager Elizabeth Thomas has been jailed for 25 years.

Steven Miles, 16 at the time, ferociously stabbed his victim before he dismembered her body in the "blood-curdling" killing in his bedroom of his family home in Amy Road, Oxted, Surrey, on January 24 this year...

Miles stabbed her in the head and back and went on to dismember her legs and an arm, wrapping the limbs in clingfilm and placing them in bin bags, and covered her body in a green plastic garden sheet.

The teenage politics student used saws and tools from his father's tree surgeon business to cut up her body.

This is so crazy, I am in UK and didn't hear about this until yesterday. I don't know what's worse, using a tv show or autism as a "defence". There are so many questions I have about this story and what happened.

When will people just deal with the fact evil people watch tv and listen to music, it bares no connection to their acts at all.

R.I.P Elizabeth
