1968: Mary Bell found guilty of double killing. An 11-year-old girl has been sentenced to life in detention after being found guilty at Newcastle Assizes of the manslaughter of two small boys. Mary Bell is said to have strangled the boys, aged four and three, solely for the pleasure and excitement of killing. The jury heard Mary, also known as May, was suffering from diminished responsibility at the time and therefore found her not guilty of murder.
