Three teenagers have been jailed for life for hacking a friend to death with two scythes in a field near Sheffield.

John Sawdon, Jermaine James, both 17, and 16-year-old Rebecca Peeters - named by a judge on Thursday - pleaded guilty to Terry Hurst's murder in January.

Terry, 17, of Penistone, was targeted by the three during a camping trip to Broomhead Reservoir in July 2004. More than 60 wounds were found on his body.

Sawdon will spend a minimum of 15 years in jail, Peeters and James 13 years.
