Two teenagers found guilty of the “senseless” murder of 16-year-old Brianna Ghey can be named when they are sentenced in the new year, a judge has ruled.

Mrs Justice Yip on Thursday said there was a strong public interest in lifting orders preventing the identification of the killers, known as Girl X and Boy Y.
