Boy, 15, admits backpacker murderBoy, 15, admits backpacker murder
| Quote: | A 15-year-old boy has pleaded guilty to murdering Scottish backpacker Karen Aim in New Zealand last year.
Jah che Te Manawa Kaha Broughton, known as Shane, will reappear in court in Rotorua for sentencing on 6 March.
Ms Aim, 26, from Orkney, died from head injuries after being attacked with a baseball bat in the resort of Taupo, following a night out, in January 2008.
Her parents, who were in court, said she had been taken from them in "one moment's madness".
Brian and Peggy Aim had travelled to New Zealand expecting to sit through a month-long trial.
After the guilty plea, Mr Aim said: "I would have been so proud to take Karen down the aisle in her wedding dress. Instead I took her down the aisle in her coffin. |
