Handwritten 'plan to kill' Brianna Ghey discovered in the bedroom of girl accused of her murder, jury told
This is the 'crumpled' handwritten note allegedly detailing a 'plan to kill' Brianna Ghey, which police found in the bedroom of a teenage girl accused of her murder. Officers discovered the piece of paper in Girl X's bedroom during a search more than a month after the 16-year-old's death.
Brianna, 16, a transgender girl, died after being stabbed 28 times in the park near Warrington earlier this year, jurors at Manchester Crown Court have heard. She was found by dog walkers just after 3pm on Saturday, February 11.
Girl X, from Warrington, and her co-defendant Boy Y, from Leigh, both aged 16, deny murder. Jurors have previously heard that Girl X sent a picture of the handwritten note to Boy Y on February 3.
