Coroner Rules Brianna Ghey's Murder Unforeseeable Despite Warning Signs

The inquest reveals systemic gaps in identifying risks, as schools and authorities were unaware of the killers' dark fantasies and behavioral issues.

Brianna Ghey, a 16-year-old transgender teenager, was murdered by classmates Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe, who were both 15 at the time.
The coroner concluded that neither the schools nor local authorities could have foreseen the murder despite Jenkinson's history of behavioral issues.
Jenkinson had a history of drug use and violent fantasies, but these were unknown to the school and other adults involved.
Brianna was considered at risk of sexual exploitation due to her online activity, but she resisted efforts to engage with support services.
The murder, described as sadistic and partly motivated by transphobia, has led Brianna's mother to advocate for greater parental controls on social media.
