Was that Gemma Chapman or someone else?
Was this the same girlfriend who spoke to the press?
TWISTED killer Luke Mitchell has a secret girlfriend who is standing by him despite his murder of Jodi Jones.
Seventeen-year-old Gemma Chapman has vowed to remain loyal to Mitchell, convicted 10 days ago of butchering his lover Jodi.
Gemma, who lives near Edinburgh with her parents, sat with Mitchell's mum Corinne during the trial.
And last week she was spotted coming out of Polmont Young Offender's Institute in Stirlingshire after visiting her boyfriend.
The black-haired student, who wears a lip stud, spent more than an hour visiting Mitchell, 16, after his first night at Polmont.
News of her relationship with devil worshipper Mitchell has outraged locals in her Lothian neighbourhood.
One resident said: "When we saw Gemma on TV we couldn't believe our eyes. There has been so much interest in this case that we couldn't avoid all the stories in the news over the last year.
"But I switched the TV on for an update last week and had to look twice when I saw Gemma outside the court.
"This is a small place and it's amazing that someone in our street is linked to the Mitchell boy.
"You can see that they have something in common. Pictures of Luke wearing black gothic clothing mirrors Gemma's style."
At the High Court in Edinburgh, a jury found Mitchell guilty of killing and mutilating 14-year-old Jodi on June 30, 2003.
Mitchell, who was obsessed with Satanism and shock rocker Marilyn Manson, throttled Jodi with his bare hands and slit her throat.
Psychopath Mitchell then stripped her, scattering her clothes and glasses around her, before using her trousers to tie her hands behind her back.
Then he mutilated her beyond recognition, slitting her eyelids and her cheek from ear to mouth.
He cut her breast and then carved her stomach open in three places before finally sticking the knife in Jodi's mouth, piercing her tonsils.
But, despite the horrifying nature of his crime, Gemma has stood by him.
A friend said: "Gemma hasn't done anything wrong. It's not a crime to go out with someone, regardless of what they've done.
"She's old enough to make her own decisions. It shows she has quite a lot of maturity to stand by Mitchell and support him."
At their home yesterday, Gemma's parents refused to comment.
Despite his odd appearance and sickening habits - including a bedroom crammed full of urine bottles - Mitchell has had no shortage of girlfriends.
It emerged during his trial that he was seeing 15-year-old Kimberley Thomson, from Kenmore, Perthshire, at the same time as he was going out with Jodi.
Kimberley, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Jodi, met Mitchell when he visited Kenmore on holiday.
After his conviction it emerged that another girlfriend, Kara Van Nuil, from Bonnyrigg, Midlothian, had been threatened with a knife just weeks before Mitchell, then 14, killed Jodi.
Another girlfriend has also revealed how she dumped Mitchell because he smoked so much dope he became a "zombie".
