A TEENAGER raped and killed a girl of 14 after she refused to have sex with him.

The boy, 16, arranged to meet with Viktorija Sokolova, inset, at a park at midnight to smoke marijuana. He then forced himself on her and struck her head at least 21 times.

He dumped her half-naked body on a bench in Wolverhamp­ton and disposed of his trainers, trousers and rucksack. The murder weapon, thought to be a hammer, has not been found. The boy, an Iraqi immigrant who cannot be named, was yesterday found guilty of rape and murder at Wolverhamp­ton crown court. He will be sentenced in February. After the trial, Lithuanian Viktorija’s mum Karolina, 36, said: “I have never managed to see his eyes – maybe because of him feeling ashamed.”
