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.

    Yes because 16 yo kids are hanging around old racist conservatives…you do know what bullying is right? You do know how intolerant most kids are at that age is as well? You do know we still have a serious problem with bullying in schools still yea? Your bias is showing quite strong.

    I must be a very odd conservative for wanting single payer healthcare, ending qualified immunity, paying teachers more, raising minimum wage, wanting ubi and safety nets…but yeah… totally a conservative.
