Hexham mum hails ‘important’ step as ‘Holly’s Law’ raised at PMQs

The mother of a murdered teenager has described how important it was for her to hear her daughter’s name, and the issues around her tragic death, raised in the House of Commons.

Holly Newton was repeatedly stabbed in an alley in Hexham, Northumberland, in January 2023 by her ex-boyfriend, Logan MacPhail, then aged 16.

Local MP, Labour’s Joe Morris, used Prime Minister’s Questions to ask Keir Starmer to look ‘Holly’s Law’ – a campaign by Holly’s mother, Micala Trusser, which would lower the age a person can be recognised as a victim of domestic abuse.

Ms Trusser said: “We’ve been pushing this for two years, and we’ll just keep pushing until we get where we need to be.”
