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.
