Brianna Ghey's killers given life sentences for brutal murder
Scarlett Jenkinson had a "deep desire to kill" and Eddie Ratcliffe was partly driven by his transphobia.
Brianna Ghey's killers have been given life sentences for her "brutal, planned and sadistic" murder.
Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe murdered the 16-year-old in a park in Cheshire in February 2023.
Mrs Justice Yip said Jenkinson was motivated by a "deep desire to kill" while Ratcliffe's motivation was in part hostility to Brianna's transgender identity.
She was given 22 years, while Ratcliffe was detained for 20 years.
Both teenagers, who were 15 at the time of the murder and are now 16, could be seen staring ahead towards the judge and showed no visible reaction as they were sentenced.

In Ratcliffe's case, another consultant forensic psychiatrist found he has a mild form of autism and selective mutism
Never heard it put quite like that.
Selective Mutism is an diagnosable anxiety disorder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_mutism
Is that what Raj from big bang theory has?
