Brianna Ghey murder trial pushed back and location changed

The trial of a schoolboy and girl accused of murdering 16-year-old Brianna Ghey has been pushed back.

The two accused, a boy of 15 and a girl aged 16, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were scheduled to go on trial in July at Liverpool Crown Court. But at a hearing on Friday, May 26, before Mrs Justice Yip, a new trial date was set for November 27.

The trial will also take place at Manchester Crown Court and is estimated to last up to three weeks. The 50-minute hearing on Friday dealt with issues which cannot be reported ahead of the trial.
