Girl of just 15 who plotted grisly killing

WHAT makes a gang of young children commit a despicable murder? Fifteen-year-old Seath Jackson was beaten, shot, chopped into pieces and burned on a fire. One of the killers was his girlfriend Amber Wright, also 15. Wright wanted to be with another boy, and so, staggeringly, she decided Seath had to die. To achieve this grisly goal, she lured him by text message to a trailer home for what he thought was a kiss-and-makeup meeting. Instead, he was met by Amber and five others who set about murdering him in the most heinous manner.

‘She’s manipulative, she’s

diabolical. She is the most dangerous 15-year-old I’ve ever encountered,’ said Detective Rhonda Stroop.

Yet when I met Amber, left, she seemed such a tiny, freshfaced, innocent youngster.

I met Seath’s parents, Scott and Sonia, for a highly charged and emotional interview. They had regularly entertained Amber at their home with their son. Sonia was remarkably dignified – but Scott was utterly unforgiving.

‘I wanna torture and kill the bitch, and I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it,’ he said.

I wish I could say that I would be like Sonia if that happened to one of my children, but I fear I would feel exactly the same as Scott.
