ITV is due to show the story of Brianna Ghey’s murder in a new documentary, including the outcome of a police investigation into who was responsible for her death.

Ghey was stabbed with a hunting knife 28 times in her head, neck, chest and back after being lured to Linear Park, Culcheth, a village near Warrington, Cheshire, on February 11, 2023.

The victim’s mother, Esther Ghey, who is calling for a public inquiry into peer-on-peer violence, will speak in-depth about her 16-year-old daughter, whose murder led to UK-wide protests and vigils.

She has campaigned for an age limit on smartphone use, stricter controls on access to social media apps, tougher action on knife crime and for mindfulness to be taught in schools.

Ghey’s killers were found and punished for the fatal injuries they inflicted on her – here’s what we know about her killers and what happened to them.

What happened to Brianna Ghey’s killers?

The attack was carried out by teenagers Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe.

Ghey’s killers, who were both 15 at the time of the murder, were caught within 28 hours and they were given life sentences in February 2024.

The judge said the “exceptionally brutal” murder had elements of both sadism by Scarlett Jenkinson and transphobic hate on the part of her accomplice, Eddie Ratcliffe.

In December 2024, Ratcliffe was sentenced to life with a minimum term of 20 years and had a bid to challenge the length of his sentence dismissed at the Court of Appeal.
