Three teenagers are set to be sentenced for the murder of Kayden Moy, who was killed on a beach in Irvine, Scotland, in May 2025. Jay Stewart, 18, Cole Turley, 18, and a 15-year-old boy who cannot be named carried out the attack together on May 17, 2025, according to Gazette and Herald.
Turley admitted to the killing before trial. Stewart and the 15-year-old were found guilty of murder following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow. Kayden's father, Paul Moy, said no sentence could bring closure, but that justice was still needed for his son's life, Perspective Media reported.
How the Attack on Irvine Beach Unfolded
Kayden Moy was killed on May 17, 2025, on a beach in Irvine, North Ayrshire. The three teenagers acted together to carry out the attack, according to Lancashire Telegraph. Kayden belonged to one group of young people, while Stewart, Turley, and the unnamed boy were part of a rival group known as the Murray Boys.
The confrontation between the two groups ended in Kayden's death. All three defendants were teenagers at the time of the killing. Turley chose to admit his role before the case went to trial, while the other two contested the charges and were convicted by the court, Enfield Independent reported.
Guilty Verdicts Handed Down at Glasgow High Court
Jay Stewart and the 15-year-old boy were both found guilty of murder following their trial at the High Court in Glasgow. The court heard that all three played a part in the attack. Cole Turley's early guilty plea meant he did not face trial, according to Hammersmith High.
The unnamed 15-year-old cannot be identified for legal reasons. Scots law protects the identities of children involved in criminal proceedings. All three now face sentencing, with the outcome expected to reflect the seriousness of a murder conviction, Clacton and Frinton Gazette reported.
Kayden's Father Calls for Justice Despite Grief
Paul Moy, Kayden's father, spoke out after the verdicts. He said no sentence handed down by the court could bring his family closure after losing their son. But he made clear that justice still mattered. "No sentence could bring closure," he said, adding that justice was needed for Kayden's life, according to Perspective Media.
The case has drawn wide attention across Scotland and beyond. A teenage life lost to group violence on a public beach shocked communities. Sentencing is now due to take place, with all three defendants facing the consequences of one of Scotland's most high-profile youth murder cases in recent years, Gazette and Herald reported.
