Mother of murdered teenager Brianna Ghey meets killer’s family

The mother of teenager Brianna Ghey has met the family of the girl who murdered her child.

Esther Ghey met the mother and uncle of Scarlett Jenkinson, who planned the “sadistic” killing and lured Brianna, 16, to a park where she was stabbed 28 times with a hunting knife.

Jenkinson and her accomplice, Eddie Ratcliffe, both aged 15 at the time, were jailed last month for life and ordered to serve 22 years and 20 years respectively for the “exceptionally brutal” murder of the trans teenager in Linear Park, Culcheth, Cheshire, on February 11 last year.

Esther Ghey said the private meeting took place last week in her hometown of Warrington, and she hoped the two mothers may work together on the Peace in Mind community interest company she has launched as Brianna’s legacy.

Ms Ghey said: “Both of us are mothers who are trying to navigate something nobody should ever have gone through.
