A teenager has admitted murdering a 16-year-old girl who she stabbed to death in a pre-planned fight over a boy.

Chloe Watson Dransfield, 16, was taken by her boyfriend Blake Dowling, 18, to the home of Kayla Smith, 18, who fatally stabbed her in the early hours of 28 March.

Smith had pleaded guilty to manslaughter but denied murder. She then changed her plea to guilty on the second day of her trial at Leeds Crown Court.
