Teenagers Found Guilty in Brutal Murder of Transgender Girl Brianna Ghey

The pair, known as 'Girl X' and 'Boy Y', had shared violent fantasies and meticulously planned the murder, as revealed by their WhatsApp messages.

Two 16-year-olds, known as 'Girl X' and 'Boy Y', have been found guilty of murdering Brianna Ghey, a transgender girl, who was stabbed 28 times in a park in Warrington, England.
The pair had been friends since they were 11 and had shared a fascination with violence, often discussing their desire to kill and sharing violent videos of torture.
Prior to the murder, the pair had exchanged thousands of WhatsApp messages, discussing various children they wanted to kill and formulating a plan to murder Brianna.
The murder was not believed to be motivated by transphobia, as the pair had also discussed targeting other individuals.
The pair will be sentenced next month, with the judge stating that she would have to impose a life sentence but would need to consider the minimum time they would be required to serve before being considered for release.
