18-year-old Thomas Griffiths has reportedly admitted murdering his 17-year-old girlfriend by stabbing her repeatedly in the neck in a “frenzied attack” because she dumped him.
Griffiths admitted murdering Ellie at her home in Calne, Wiltshire, in May, when she ended their relationship.
The next day, Griffiths, now aged 18, went to the schoolgirl’s house, killed her and tried to make it appear she had inflicted the wounds on herself.
