Esther Ghey has said that when the police came to her home to break the news her daughter Brianna had died she “just knew something like this was going to happen because it was such a dark time for everyone”.
In a statement given to the inquest into Brianna’s death on Wednesday, Ms Ghey also said: “I can’t believe the change that Brianna went through. When she was little, she was such an energetic ball of joy, but in her later years she was immersed in darkness. It sometimes feels like I’m grieving two different people.”
