Two teenagers have been jailed for the murder of Kayden Moy, 16, who was fatally stabbed during a confrontation on Irvine Beach, North Ayrshire, in May 2025, the BBC reported Tuesday.

Moy sustained knife wounds during the beach altercation and died as a result. Both convicted offenders were juveniles at the time of the attack. The convictions follow proceedings before a Scottish court, with sentencing handed down Tuesday, July 21, 2026.

Details of the individual sentences — including the length of any detention orders — were reported by the BBC but have not yet been confirmed in full through independently available court records at time of filing.

Irvine Beach is a public coastal stretch on the North Ayrshire coastline, approximately 30 miles southwest of Glasgow. The attack took place in daylight hours during what witnesses described as a confrontation between groups.

Kayden Moy was sixteen years old.
