Watch moment Brianna Ghey’s murderers Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe sentenced to life in prison

This is the moment Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe are sentenced for the murder of 16-year-old Brianna Ghey.

Jenkinson and Ratcliffe stabbed the transgender teenager 28 times with a hunting knife in a horrific attack on 11 February 2023 after luring her to Linear Park near Warrington.

Known as Girl X and Boy Y during their trial, they were named after Mrs Justice Yip ruled that their anonymity order could be lifted given the harrowing nature of their crimes.

Jenkinson was sentenced to a minimum of 22 years in prison, and Ratcliffe a minimum term of 20 years, when they appeared at Manchester Crown Court on Friday (2 February).
