The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to manslaughter by diminished responsibility.

Katie was found with severe lacerations to her neck and chest on a playing field in Woodthorpe, York, on 9 January. She died later in hospital.

The girl did not speak as she entered her plea via video link at Leeds Crown Court. She denied a separate charge of murder.

Nicholas Johnson QC, defending, asked the court if the charge of murder could be put to the girl again and she wrote her plea on a piece of paper.

Graham Reeds QC, prosecuting, said: "We are going to accept that plea of manslaughter by diminished responsibility."

The organiser of Leeds Festival, Melvin Benn, hopes drug testing will start soon at UK festivals but says the Home Office needs to issue a special licence for that to happen.

Pilots took place at last year's Secret Garden Party and Kendal Calling.

But festival promoters are waiting for the government's final approval to make sure they aren't breaking the law.

Melvin Benn says he's hopeful to have a licence in place by the time Leeds and Reading Festival starts in August.

The scheme has had its critics but Melvin Benn says festivals will be safer if drugs are tested.
