A man got a 15-year-old girl drunk and left her to die so he could catch the last train home.<\/p>\n

Ewan Fulton, 20, admitted killing Mhari O'Neill after a dog walker found her lifeless body on a hill in Scotland.<\/p>\n

The pair are believed to have engaged in sexual activity after he brought vodka and cigarettes to Calton Hill in Edinburgh on December 7 2018.<\/p>\n

Mhari is then believed to have died of hypothermia and alcohol intoxication after he abandoned her so he could catch the last train to Waverley, a court heard.<\/p>\n

Fulton pleaded guilty to the offence on Monday, while a number of not guilty pleas: including unrelated sexual assault and assault incidents, were accepted by the Crown, the Mirror reports. <\/p>\n

The court heard that Fulton, of Livingston, had bought vodka and cigarettes for Mhari O\u2019Neill on December 7 2018 which they consumed together at Calton Hill in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

The 15-year-old was found dead at the beauty spot by a dog walker the next morning, with a pathologist finding the likely cause of death to be hypothermia with intoxication playing a role.<\/p>\n

Alex Prentice QC, advocate depute, said \u201clove bites\u201d were discovered on the body of the deceased, with Fulton admitting to repeatedly biting her breasts and compressing her neck.<\/p>\n

She was found to have \u201cblunt force\u201d injuries which did not contribute to her death and may have been caused by her stumbling.<\/p>\n
