Teenager Adam Morrell died from head injuries and strangulation after being beaten and tortured for
at least three hours, the trial in Nottingham was told.
A pathologist said the 14-year-old suffered a total of 280 injuries.
One of the defendants told police he looked "like an alien" after being kicked like a
football.
Another said he was completely unrecognisable.
Finally, the music was turned up at the house in Loughborough to cover the sound of his body being
sawn into pieces.
Three days after the schoolboy's death, a group walking by the Grand Union Canal in the town
found a black plastic bag wrapped in silver tape, floating in the water.
Body parts
When they fished out the package, they saw what looked like fingers.
The bag was found to contain a severed arm.
Other body parts turned up around Loughborough over the next few days.
A woman found legs in another plastic bag.
A bag of clothes was discovered by police at an electricity sub-station.
The boy's head was found by police divers at the bottom of the canal.
The last Adam's family had heard from him was when he phoned his father, days before his death,
to say he was staying with friends.
Those friends were: Matthew Welsh, 19; Welsh's girlfriend Sarah Morris, 17; former soldier
Daniel Biggs, 19; and Nathan Barnett, 27.
On Wednesday, 19-year-old Matthew Welsh was convicted of murdering the schoolboy, while his
girlfriend Sarah Morris was found guilty of assaulting the youngster.
Another teenager, Daniel Biggs, 19, was cleared by the jury of murder or of any part in the assault.
Nathan Barnett pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
Boiling water
Welsh, the son of a Burton on Trent policeman, had told Leicestershire Police that they were
drinking beer and whisky, smoking cannabis and taking ecstasy at the house in Havelock Street on the
evening of 14 November, 2002.
Welsh said events took a turn for the worse when Adam threatened to tell police about their drug
use.
The court had been told that all four of them kicked and attacked Adam.
He curled up in a ball and wept as he was savagely beaten.
Welsh told police that Barnett had later scalded Adam with a combination of boiling water and sugar.
Barnett testified during the trial that Biggs helped him by putting his foot on Adam to squeeze the
life out of the youngster.
He told a jury that he had played the children's game paper, scissors, stone with Biggs to
decide who would kill Adam.
Biggs denied joining in the assault and said he had gone to a homeless persons' hostel.
He said Barnett, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility, had
killed Adam on his own.
All four pleaded guilty to conspiring to pervert the course of justice.
Sarah Morris told police she joined in the attack on Adam and said he looked "like an
alien" after being kicked "like a football".
Showed remorse
Morris said Adam had started moaning after a drink-and-drugs session and was told to shut up.
He was kicked because he was "bringing us down", she said.
The three others hit and kicked Adam and urged her to do the same, so she punched him in the head,
chest and legs as well as in the face.
"The assault lasted about three hours, possibly slightly longer," Morris said.
Frances Oldham, defending Morris, said the teenage girl was the only member of the gang who had ever
shown any remorse for what had happened.

happy christmas sweetheart xxx
Simply put ...I really miss you
I've continued to ask why
Life took this dreadful wrong turn...
Now I often sit and cry
Simply put ...my heart is broken
Most people have no clue
Unless they live this heartache...
They don't know what I've lived through
Simply put... I long to hug you
Share a gentle warm embrace
Often spend each day just wishing....
This truth could somehow be erased
Simply put... I can't remember...
The last time I heard your voice
Memories are often painful...
I was not given any choice
Simply put... I know I'm grieving
Won't get better through the years
I have learned some coping methods...
To accept this new frontier
Simply put... I'm good at masking
Denying what I feel
For I know deep down inside me...
I will never truly heal
Simply put...I really miss you
No one knows the pain I bear
Simply put... there is no reason
Losing you was just not fair

I stood by your bed last night;
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.
I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
'It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here.'
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I flew with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently landed on you; I smiled and said, 'it's me.'
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, 'I never went away.'
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say 'good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning.'
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll fly across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me.

God called your name so gently,
That only you could hear.
No one heard the footsteps,
Of angels drawing near.
Softly from the shadows
There came a gentle call,
You closed your eyes and went to sleep,
And quietly left us all.
