The mother of Eddie Ratcliffe, one of Brianna Ghey’s killers, described him in the aftermath of the murder as “a good child, with good morals and a loving, caring family behind him” who was on track to apply for Oxford.

Brianna, aged 16, was stabbed to death in a “sadistic” and “exceptionally brutal” murder in a Warrington park on 11 February 2023 by Ratcliffe and Scarlett Jenkinson, who were both 15 at the time.
