The murder of Brianna Ghey: The full story of a sickening crime that shocked a nation

A teenager who dared to be different.
The forming of a deadly friendship.
And a 'would-be serial killer' fuelled by obsession and power.
The murder of transgender teenager Brianna Ghey in February 2023 was described by a judge as "exceptionally brutal" and "sadistic in nature".
Her killers Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe were just 15-years-old at the time and are now serving life sentences for their wicked crimes.
In our short documentary, Manchester Evening News' court reporter Andrew Bardsley gives his insight into one of the most harrowing cases in recent UK history as we break down the full story, from the obsessive murder plot and foiled attempts, to the frenzied attack and subsequent investigation.
Featuring CCTV clips released by Cheshire Police, including the moment both killers were arrested.

    And what of Ratcliffes father. What kind of father buys his son a hunting knife knowing the problems associated with knife crime in the UK in general and why buy such a thing anyway? Just one question I'd like to ask. Not saying that the pair wouldntve still done what they did but just seems warped to me.

    There is a strange bias that when someone who is trans is killed we don’t stop hearing about it for years on end but when any other normie is killed in an equally bad/worse way they are swiftly forgotten about the next day, just a little disparity I noticed, what makes these people more important?

    Not really the time or place for people to express their political views about another individuals personal life, their choices, conflicts and challenges however you understand those things to be. It's a a time for respect and mourning and a time to challenge acts of violence and violent cultural behaviour. Theres two people who wanted to be like famous serial killers who murdered someone and it could of ended with any of the names on their list. This is the thing to get upset about, this is the disturbing and problematic issue most prevalent to these events, do not be clouded on that fact.

    Thing is no one brought politics into it until people started crying "trans hate" which has been proven in court not to be the case, jenkinson would have deleted someone trans or not & the evidence is there. It wasnt "trans hate" it was a simple killing by a nut job and the victim at that time just happened tp be trans, thats it.

    RIP brianna ghey. People just need to be respectful. Disrespect will end in you losing respect from others. Boy or girl doesn't matter, human life loss. To honor eachothers style of living is in need but also requires lgbtq to not force beliefs on eachother. Keep your beliefs to yourselves and don't force eachother. She believed to be her mother and fathers daughter so they lost a daughter. This type of hate requires us to be neutral with no sides and only to live. Peace is a simple word, but to act it is big. Just live, love and respect.

    Oh, shut the hell up. You have no idea what mitigating circumstances there were that led to a slightly shorter sentence. If a defendant gives information that helps to bring charges against their codefendant, they can be given a shorter sentence. This is done to encourage people to -snitch- be honest. Showing remorse and apologizing to surviving victims is also grounds for a reduced sentence. You have no idea of what the details were, instead you choose to get mad about discrimination against men that doesn’t exist. 🙄
