Teen accused of murder "not proud"
A teenage babysitter accused of murdering a two-year-old girl from Salford said he was "not proud" of what he did, a court heard.
The 15-year-old admits unlawfully killing Demi Leigh Mahon but denies murder on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
He allegedly inflicted 68 injuries on the toddler while her mother went to collect a child benefit cheque on July 15 last year.
The boy, who cannot be named, told a health worker: "I'm not proud of what I've done and everyone will think I'm a monster but nobody can ever punish me as much as I'll punish myself."
