A teenage thug who stabbed a mum to death after an apparent row over an e-scooter has been detained for a minimum 18 years.The then 16 year-old brutally knifed Danielle Davidson, 33, with a Rambo-style blade - before later stating to his aunt and uncle: "I have done the crime, so I will do the time".

The attacker - now 17 and cannot be identified due to his age - was sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow today for what a judge described as an "appalling and cowardly" attack on the innocent mum-of-one.The teenager had previously pleaded guilty to murdering Miss Davidson in Constitution Street in Edinburgh's Leith on May 18 2023.

It emerged today the killer had previously been charged with possession of a knife aged just 11. The Home Office had also since accepted that he was later "the victim of modern slavery within the UK" involved in drug dealing and other crime from a young age.

A hearing in November heard the details behind the horror attack on Miss Davidson. The teenager had initially gone to trial before admitting his guilt following shocking footage of the crime being played in court.
