Six year old Alesha was abducted, raped and murdered by 16 year old Aaron Campbell on the Isle of Bute last July.
He was sentenced to a minimum of 27 years behind bars last week following a 9 day trial at the High Court in Glasgow back in February.
Campbell told a psychologist how he was “satisfied” with the murder of and he’d fantasised about rape and violence for a year.
CJ MacPhail has started another petiton on a different site..
38 degrees who hosted the first petition say it was removed because it broke their terms and conditions.
