she was almost a bit of an icon around school. She displayed that through her clothes, her make-up, her hair. 'She had a very strong sense of who she was as a person. She'd say things that were so funny and you knew it wasn't appropriate to laugh, but her sense of humour really shone through. īrianna's Headteacher at Birchwood Community High School, Emma Mills, told LBC: 'She was a really big character, Brianna. They were both equally responsible, but tried to blame each other.'Īctivists and members of the LGBT community held a vigil for Brianna. The messages provided a terrifying insight into the warped fantasies of the two defendants, but also provided us with the detailed planning of the attack and the plan to cover it up. 'The pages and pages of WhatsApp messages between the two, planning and plotting to kill people, talking of murder, torture and cruelty were difficult to read. It's apparent from the messages that they normalised the fantasies they were expressing in the messages. They exchanged hundreds of messages and the content of some of the messages are deeply disturbing. Girl X and Boy Y appear to have been a deadly influence on each other and turned what may have started out as dark fantasies about murder into a reality. 'Brianna Ghey was subjected to a frenzied and ferocious attack. The circumstances, the planning and the way it was carried out is frankly beyond belief. 'It was an attack that was carried out on a Saturday afternoon in daylight in a public park. Ursula Doyle, the Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor at the CPS, told LBC: 'It's been one of the most disturbing cases we've ever dealt with. They are essentially two warped individuals who have lived out what they would describe as a fantasy.'īrianna Ghey's mother (left) arriving in court in November. Brianna had never done anything to either of them. 'We still don't know why they did it other than they have a real thirst for murder. I think they had a plan in their head that they were going to stick to and thought that would be enough to get them out of trouble. 'When we arrested them initially and they were being interviewed, they were both quite confident. But ultimately we know they were responsible for this horrific attack. 'You can see from their conversations how articulate and intelligent they are, and even giving their evidence they've done it intelligently. The evidence against the pair was overwhelming, with both accepting they had lured Brianna to the park and had been there during the attack, but claimed it was the other one who did the stabbing while they had their back turned.ĭCI Mike Evans from Cheshire Police told LBC: 'This is a horrific attack carried out by young people against another young person. Boy Y was found with a bloodied knife in his bedroom, and messages, deleted from their phones, were able to be recovered by police.
