Sasha Marsden was a 16-year-old girl from Blackpool, England, who was stabbed to death on 31 January 2013.[1] Her body was then set on fire. It was alleged by the media that she had received threatening emails prior to the murder.[2] The murder has received international coverage.[3][4]
Her body was found in an alleyway off South Shore and a post-mortem examination revealed attempts to set fire to it. A 22-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman from the local area were arrested on suspicion of murder the day after it was found.[5] On 3 February 2013 David Minto, the caretaker of a local hotel, was charged with Marsden's murder while the woman was released without charge. Minto appeared in court the following day.[6]
Minto pleaded not guilty when he appeared in court on 24 April 2013. He was remanded in custody to stand trial on 15 July 2013.[7]
Minto's trial began on 15 July 2013. On 26 July Minto was found guilty of Marsden's murder and was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum time of 35 years to serve before being eligible for parole.[8]
Minto appealed against his sentence in February 2014, but it was upheld by the Court of Appeal of England and Wales and the minimum term of 35 years was upheld.[9]
