Description
The names of two teenagers who murdered 16-year-old schoolgirl Brianna Ghey have been revealed for the first time just hours before they were sentenced. Sixteen-year-olds Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe, who were both 15 at the time of the attack in Warrington, Cheshire, last February, were told they will spend a minimum of 22 and 20 years in prison respectively. Under-18s are not usually named in the UK criminal justice system for welfare reasons but judges can make exceptions if they think it is in the public interest. This case has reignited the debate over whether children who kill should ever be named.On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson explores the issue with Laura O’Brien, who represents children and young adults at Hodge Jones and Allen Solicitors, and David James Smith, author of The Sleep of Reason: The James Bulger Case.
