"Convicted Teen Killers of Brianna Ghey: Unraveling a Shockingly Premeditated Murder"

Two 16-year-old murderers of transgender teenager Brianna Ghey in northwest England were named in court as Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe ahead of their sentencing, receiving minimum terms of 20 and 22 years, respectively, for the brutal and planned murder. The judge lifted reporting restrictions, citing public interest, and emphasized the sadistic nature of the crime and hostility towards Ghey's transgender identity. Ghey's family expressed their devastation in victim impact statements, with her father stating that no amount of prison time would be enough for the "monsters." The teenagers had denied the killing but were found guilty following a trial that revealed their fascination with violence and detailed planning of the attack.
