Two Teenagers Found Guilty of Murdering 16-Year-Old Kayden Moy on Irvine Beach
A third teenager had already pleaded guilty, and the judge deferred sentencing until next month after jurors delivered their verdicts.
- On Friday, a jury at the High Court in Glasgow found Jay Stewart, 18, and an unnamed 15-year-old boy guilty of murdering 16-year-old Kayden Moy at Irvine Beach.
- Gang rivalry between the Murray Boys and Himshie groups sparked the May 17, 2025, incident at Irvine Beach, where Stewart and his co-accused threw rocks to provoke Moy's group before pursuing him.
- Cole Turley, 18, who previously pleaded guilty, wielded a large lockback knife while Stewart brandished a police-style extendable baton during the fatal attack that left Moy fatally stabbed.
- Family members applauded the verdict while supporters of the teenagers shouted, "Grasses, grasses the lot of you." Judge Lord Scott deferred sentencing until July 21 pending background reports.
- Remanded in custody, the convicted teenagers await sentencing, while Moy's football team, Busby AFC, raised more than £16,000 to cover funeral expenses for the 16-year-old.
