In a chilling twist to the harrowing case of Brianna Ghey, a 16-year-old trans girl brutally stabbed to death in Culcheth Linear Park, Warrington, the prosecution presented evidence in Manchester Crown Court this week. The trial involves two young defendants, referred to as Girl X and Boy Y due to legal constraints surrounding their age, both accused of murdering Ghey.
Following Brianna Ghey’s tragic death, Girl X posted a disturbing message on Snapchat, alongside a screenshot of a Warrington Guardian article, reading, “Brianna was one of the best people I have ever met, and such an amazing friend. It’s so sickening what got done to her.” The court also heard a 101 call made by Girl X’s mother to Cheshire Police, where she detailed her child’s association with Brianna on the day of her murder, involving Boy Y.
Earlier in the week, jurors were presented with a handwritten note discovered in Girl X’s bedroom, outlining plans to harm Ghey. The note indicated a sinister rendezvous on February 11th, 2023, where they were to meet Brianna at a specified location, followed by a horrific act. Boy Y also had a disturbing note in his room, suggesting plans to harm other children.
The harrowing details that have emerged during this trial are a stark reminder of the violence faced by transgender individuals and the urgent need for justice in Brianna Ghey’s case. As the trial continues, the LGBTQ community and advocates closely watch for a fair and just outcome. #JusticeForBrianna #LGBTQ #CrimeTrial
