When Brianna Ghey's mother spoke to her 16-year-old daughter, before she headed off to a park, she could not in her worst nightmares have imagined that it would be their last conversation.
Brianna visited the picturesque village of Culcheth and made her way to Culcheth Linear Park - an extremely popular route with dog walkers and families alike. The park, which is less than two miles from Cheshire's border with Greater Manchester, is where the schoolgirl spent her last moments on a crispy but sunny Saturday afternoon, before she was killed in what police describe as a 'targeted attack'.
Today (Sunday February 12) it was a much different scene from what locals are used to, as the entrance was taped off amid a huge emergency service response. Crime scene investigators were in the park, along with police dogs, and search teams, who were looking under hedges and cars.
