Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe, both 16, were convicted in December of the murder of the transgender student, also 16 after she was fatally stabbed 28 times in a frenzied attack. This afternoon, the pair were handed a 42-year sentence. Jenkinson was today told she must serve at least 22 years and Ratcliffe will serve at least 20 years.

The identities of the pair were originally protected under law due to their ages, but the judge opted to lift this. After the two teenagers were found guilty on December 20, Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe,Honourable Mrs Justice Yip announced that the media would be able to name them on the day they were sentenced.Cheshire Police have also released their custody photos. Referred to as Girl X and Boy Y during the trial, the then-15-year-olds lured Brianna to Culcheth Linear Park, near Warrington, on February 11 last year, before murdering her.

At the start of sentencing today, Jenkinson has admitted for the first time stabbing Brianna. During the trial, she maintained that it was Radcliffe who had stabbed Brianna. Deanna Heer KC, prosecuting, told Manchester Crown Court the 16-year-old had been seen by a psychiatrist after she was convicted of murder last December and made “admissions”.She said: "She said Eddie had thrown Brianna to the floor and stabbed her three or four times then he panicked and said he did not want to kill her, so she carried on and stabbed her a number of times. When asked how many, she answered, ‘A lot.’ She was satisfied and excited by what she was doing.”

Police released videos showing the moment both Jenkinson and Ratcliffe were arrested. Jenkinson is heard saying "how come I am a suspect" as she was arrested over the murder of Brianna. During Ratcliffe's arrest, he said "I can explain".
