Woman stabbed boy over games row

A 55-year-old woman has been found guilty by a jury of stabbing a teenage boy in her care after he refused to stop playing a games console.

Isobel Mackenzie, of Inverness, had denied assaulting the 13-year-old boy to the danger of his life.

A trial at Inverness Sheriff Court heard that the pair had punched and kicked each in an earlier row about him wanting to connect to the internet.

Sheriff Margaret Neilson called for background reports before sentencing.

Mackenzie had earlier admitted wilfully neglecting the youngster by being in a drunken state while the boy was in her care.

Sentencing was set for 22 December.
