An 18-year-old woman has admitted murdering 16-year-old Chloe Watson Dransfield, who was stabbed five times during a pre-arranged fight over a boy in Austhorpe, Leeds, in March. Kayla Smith switched her plea to guilty on the second day of her trial at Leeds Crown Court. She faces a mandatory life sentence. Two young men charged over the same death both deny murder and manslaughter charges.
