Candlelit vigil in Manchester for Brianna Ghey, 16, who was stabbed to death in a park

A candlelit vigil for schoolgirl Brianna Ghey - tragically found stabbed to death in a public park - has been organised for Manchester city centre. The gathering has been planned for Sackville Gardens at 7pm on Wednesday - one of dozens of similar vigils due to take place across the UK.

Brianna, a 16-year-old Year 11 pupil from Birchwood, Warrington, was found dead on a path in Culcheth Linear Park, Warrington, on Saturday, February 11. Police said she had been stabbed multiple times.

A boy and girl, both aged 15, have been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with Brianna's death. There's been no update as yet today - Tuesday - but Cheshire Police said on Sunday: "They are currently in custody assisting police with their investigation."
