Two teenagers found guilty of murdering 16-year-old boy on beach

Two teenagers have been found guilty of murdering a 16-year-old boy on a Scottish beach.

Kayden Moy was fatally stabbed at Irvine Beach in North Ayrshire on 17 May 2025.

Jay Stewart, 18, and a 15-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, went on trial at the High Court in Glasgow accused of murdering Kayden.

A jury found the pair guilty of murder on the second day of deliberations.

Co-accused Cole Turley, 18, had earlier pleaded guilty to the murder.

Following an initial confrontation at the beach, the pair and Turley pursued Kayden, causing him to fall to the ground where he was repeatedly stabbed with a knife.

The 16-year-old was so badly injured in the attack that he later died.

Judge Lord Scott told jurors ahead of their deliberations that it was not in dispute that Turley killed Kayden, or that Stewart and the 15-year-old were present on the beach that day.

However, he said the "crucial issue" they had to decide was whether the pair were acting together with Turley when he carried out the murder.

Prosecutors earlier withdrew all charges against Stewart and the 15-year-old apart from the murder charge, which they both denied.

The pair and Turley will be sentenced on 21 July.
