The 16-year-old convicted killers of a transgender teenager in northwest England last year have been named in court after the judge lifted a ban on reporting their identities.

Justice Amanda Yip lifted the reporting restrictions on naming the killers of 16-year-old Brianna Ghey. They were identified at Manchester Crown Court as Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe.

The horrific murder shocked the nation. Ghey was stabbed with a hunting knife 28 times in her head, neck, chest and back in broad daylight after being lured to a park in the town of Warrington on Feb. 11, 2023.

Yip handed Ratcliffe and Jenkinson a mandatory life sentence, and ordered them to serve a minimum term of 20 and 22 years, respectively, before they could be eligible for parole. If they had been adults — over the age of 18 — they would have faced much longer minimum terms. They will be transferred to adult prisons when they turn 18. Neither showed no visible reaction on being sentenced.

    Ah thanks, but I’m not from the US (thank god). So this isn’t a fact i just missed in other news, it’s just the usual duality with no grey in between. I really doubt there was any religion or politics in them. Just sadism and hate. And they picked a target that their surroundings hate. That’s what kids do. My 2 euro-cents.
