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.

can still watch you
So please don't cry,
I'm not in a grave
I'm with God On High.
I'll be watching in the morning
At the first crack of light,
I'll be sneaking a kiss
In the middle of the night.
When you think of me
I'll be there,
I'll see your tears
I know you care.
I live in the Lord
And He lives in me,
So in your heart
I'll always be.
So I'll always be there
We'll never be apart,
I'll be with Him
Deep in your heart.
good morning adam xxxx
Over mountains, over trees
over oceans, over seas
across the deserts
You are there....
In a whisper on the wind
with the smile of a new friend
I think of you
and you are there....
I won't be afraid, and I feel your love
As you watch me from above
I'd give all the world tonight
Just to be with you....
Forever I will care
even though you have flown away,
I still see you everywhere
I just think of you and you are there....
On the edge of a waking dream
Over Rivers, over streams
through wind and rain
you are there....
Across the wide and open sky
Thousands of miles I'd fly
to be with you
if we could be togetheryou and I....
In the breath of a wind that sighs
a moment without thoughts of you is rare
I just think of you,
and you are there....
HI SWEET ADAM XXXX LOVE JACKIE FAMILY XXX
My grief is like a river,
I have to let it flow,
but I myself determine
just where the banks will go.
Some days the current takes me
in waves of guilt and pain,
but there are always quiet pools
where I can rest again.
I crash on rocks of anger;
my faith seems faint indeed,
but there are other swimmers
who know that what I need
Are loving hands to hold me
when the waters are too swift,
and someone kind to listen
when I just seem to drift.
Grief's river is a process
of relinquishing the past.
By swimming in hope's channels,
I'll reach the shore at last
morning adam xxxx
a rose grew where all could see,
sheltered by a garden wall,
and as the day passed swiftly by,
it spread its branches straight and tall,
one day a beam of light shone through,
a crevice that had opened wide,
the rose bent gently towards its warmth,
and passed beyond the other side
for all who feel for valeries loss,
be comforted the rose grows there,
its beauty even greater now,
nurtured by gods loving care.
