Three teens who murdered Kayden Moy in Irvine beach stabbing to be sentenced

Three teenagers who murdered a 16-year-old boy at a beach in North Ayrshire will be sentenced on Tuesday.

In June, a 15-year-old boy, who can’t be named for legal reasons, and co-accused Jay Stewart, 18, stood trial accused of killing Kayden Moy at Irvine Beach on May 17, 2025.

Cole Turley, 18, had previously pleaded guilty to the murder before the trial started at the High Court in Glasgow.

Stewart and the 15-year-old, while acting with Turley, were accused of pursuing Kayden and caused him to fall to the ground before they repeatedly stabbed him to the body.

Two teens found guilty of murdering Kayden Moy at Irvine beach

Jay Stewart, 18, and a 15-year-old boy were found guilty of murdering Kayden Moy following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow

It is alleged that Stewart and the other teenager had previous ill-will and malice towards him.

Stewart and the 15-year-old had lodged a special defence of incrimination against Turley.

But the jury returned a unanimous verdict of murder for Stewart, and a majority verdict of murder for the 15-year-old at the High Court in Glasgow last month.

Jurors had determined the duo acted alongside Turley when committing the murder.

The trio are set to be sentenced on Tuesday at the High Court in Glasgow.
