The teenager who was accused of sexually assaulting and murdering Alesha MacPhail reportedly used an online search engine to check "how do police find DNA" the very next day after the six-year-old girl's body was found in the woods. A court heard that Alesha was found naked and lying face down close to an abandoned hotel on the Isle of Bute in Scotland on July 2 last year, only hours after she was reported missing from her grandparents' home.

Daily Mail reported that the 16-year-old boy who was accused of murder, rape, child abduction and defeating the ends of justice has denied all charges that were laid out against him at the Glasgow High Court. Cybercrime investigator Peter Benson spoke of how he examined the teen's iPhone 6 when he was giving evidence in court on February 18.
