A fundraiser for the murdered teenager Brianna Ghey has soared to over £110,000 - just days after the heartbroken Culcheth community gathered near where she was killed.
Brianna was found with fatal stab wounds in Culcheth Linear Park, near Warrington, on Saturday, February 11. A boy from Leigh and a girl from Warrington, both 15, have been charged with her "extremely brutal and punishing" murder and are due to stand trial in July.
Cheshire Police said Brianna's family have been overwhelmed by the messages of "support, positivity and compassion" as a number of vigils were held across the UK. Mourners gathered at Liverpool's St George's Hall last Tuesday, while hundreds of people gathered at Culcheth's village green on Friday night in memory of Brianna, who was a trans girl.
