Brianna Ghey's teenage killers jailed for life for 'sadistic' murder as victim's father brands them 'monsters'
The girl and boy who murdered teenager Brianna Ghey have been jailed for life for the "sadistic" killing.A judge sentenced Scarlett Jenkinson to a minimum of 22 years in prison and Eddie Ratcliffe to a minimum of 20 years in jail before parole for the murder.
The pair, both 16, were convicted of the “disturbing” killing of transgender schoolgirl Brianna, 16, in a “frenzied and ferocious” knife attack. They were 15 at the time of the murder.
Sentencing the pair, Mrs Justice Yip told them they " both took part in a brutal and planned murder which was sadistic in nature."She said one of their motives for carrying out the killing was Brianna's trans identity.
Brianna's parents told the sentencing hearing the pair should never be released from prison, with her mother Esther Ghey saying she felt her daughter's killers still pose a danger to society.
