A teenager who wrote a murder plan booklet and tried to kill a man he met on a gay dating site has been jailed for 13 years.
Chad Gurney, 19, listed eight ways he wanted to kill, including slitting a man's throat with scissors.
He met his victim on gay site Grindr and they had consensual sex in a park on July 29 last year.
Gurney then tried to stab the man but he suffered just minor injuries in the Leicester attack.
Two-and-a-half hours later, Gurney handed himself in to police and the murder booklet was seized at his home in Saffron Lane, in Leicester.
He was found guilty of attempted murder after a trial at Leicester Crown Court in February.
Today he was jailed for 13 years with an additional five on licence following his release.

Jurors heard that officers found a "planning a murder" notebook, along with a diary containing thoughts of murderous intent stashed at his home.
A Leicestershire Police spokesperson said: "When being interviewed by officers Gurney also admitted he had twice made plans to kill somebody.
"On one occasion he followed someone over a bridge and was going to attack him from behind but was unable to go through with it.
"The second time he planned to lure someone to a disused building but the person never showed up to the location.

"In Gurney's diary he also talked about having already murdered someone but when questioned told officers this was a lie.
"Officers have conducted preliminary searches in relation to this which have proved negative."
