Girlfriend of Alesha MacPhail's dad taunted by vile troll who described Aaron Campbell as 'good guy'

A cruel internet troll taunted the teenage girlfriend of Alesha MacPhail 's father, describing killer Aaron Campbell as "a very good guy" in a series of twisted messages.

Toni McLachlan, 18, was framed by murderer and rapist Campbell, 16, who accused her of committing horrifying crimes against six-year-old Alesha on the Isle of Bute last July.

But a jury saw through his lies and Campbell was convicted in less than four hours, and jailed for a minimum of 27 years.

Toni, the girlfriend of Alesha's dad, Robert MacPhail, posted pictures of twisted messages sent to her on Facebook.

They included one where the internet troll claimed to have 'teached [sic] Aaron MMA'.

She captioned the post: "He clearly needs locked up too, honestly don't understand how someone can be so bold and not even care".

The messages from the troll read: "You know nothing hen, I teached [sic] Aaron MMA then all submissions everything."

Another read: "Very good guy as well."

Toni responded: "Your [sic] a fried wee boy man just hand yersel [sic] into the polis the now your [sic] getting blocked."
