The mother of a 16-year-old stabbed to death at school has paid tribute to "our sweet boy'' after a teenager was convicted of his killing.

Bailey Gwynne died from a wound to the heart inflicted during a fight at Cults Academy in Aberdeen on October 28 last year.

A youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was convicted of culpable homicide on Monday following a trial at the city's High Court.

Bailey's mother Kate Gwynne said in a statement released through Police Scotland: "We will always be immensely proud that Bailey is our son.

"It has always been a true blessing and a privilege to have Bailey, and to share the honour of knowing, raising and loving him.

"That is not something that time or our parting will ever change.''
