Teenager who murdered 12-year-old Ava White named for first time

  • In November 2021, 14-year-old Harry Gilbertson stabbed 12-year-old Ava White in Liverpool city centre after a row during the Christmas lights switch-on.
  • The confrontation followed an altercation involving Ava and her friends and Gilbertson's group who had been filming them on Snapchat.

  • Gilbertson was convicted of murder after a 12-day trial and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 13 years in July 2022.
  • Today, on his 18th birthday, Gilbertson’s identity was publicly revealed while Ava’s mother continues efforts through the Ava White Foundation to raise knife crime awareness.
