Killers Of Trans Teen Brianna Ghey To Be Named For First Time At Sentencing

The girl and boy who murdered trans teenager Brianna Ghey are to be sentenced for murder and publicly named for the first time. The defendants, both 16, identified only as girl X and boy Y during their four-week trial last December at Manchester Crown Court, face a mandatory life sentence. They were aged 15 when they carried out the “disturbing” plan to murder Brianna, 16, in a “frenzied and ferocious” attack with a hunting knife. Both will be named for the first time when they are sentenced later on Friday after a senior judge, Mrs Justice Yip, indicated she will lift a court order banning the press from identifying them. Anxious and vulnerable Brianna was stabbed 28 times in the head, neck, chest and back after being lured to Linear Park, Culcheth, a village near Warrington, Cheshire, on the afternoon of February 11 last year. TalkTV’s Dr David Bull and Sarah Hewson discuss the story with Lorin LaFave, whose 14-year-old son was groomed and murdered by someone he met online.
