Aaron Campbell is serving a life sentence over the 2018 abduction, rape and murder of Alesha when she was just six years old
The dad of murdered Alesha MacPhail was shown compassion in court after he vandalised a car belonging to killer Aaron Campbell’s mum.
MacPhail admitted his guilt at an earlier court hearing, pleading guilty to charges of vandalism and threatening behaviour. On Wednesday, he returned to the dock to be sentenced, after his lawyer previously said he’d been “overcome by an overwhelming sense of anger and trauma”. At a hearing earlier this year, defence lawyer Gerry Keenan said: "It is difficult to envisage something that would engender greater unhappiness than the death of a child, and the way in which the child died. Mr MacPhail did not seek out the complainer. He had been drinking and was on his way to see a friend.
