LONDON - Two teenage girl bullies were sent to a detention centre for three months yesterday for their part in a savage gang attack on a schoolmate who later killed herself.

Michelle McBratney (17), and Lee Ann Murray (16) were led away after a strong condemnation for their "cowardly attack". Sheriff Ian Cameron told them that they had "evilly"

taken it on themselves to ensure Katherine Jane Morrison (16), could not safely walk the streets of Stornoway, Isle of Lewis. Katherine Jane Morrison was found dead in her bedroom at Macaulay Road in Stornoway on February 5th last year.
