Brianna Ghey’s killer’s new school was not told she had drugged another pupil

The school to which one of Brianna Ghey’s killers was moved before murdering the 16-year-old was not told their new pupil had already drugged a younger girl with a cannabis sweet.

Teachers were told only that Scarlett Jenkinson had been caught with cannabis edibles and was being given a “second chance”, an investigation has found.

The 13-year-old victim at Culcheth High School in Warrington, Cheshire, had fallen ill after Jenkinson gave her the sweet, and police were called in – but the victim’s parents did not want any further action.

Four months later, after moving to Birchwood Community High School, Jenkinson, together with Eddie Ratcliffe, murdered Brianna in a “frenzied and ferocious” attack with a hunting knife
