A boy accused of the murder of Brianna Ghey has told jurors he called the teenager 'it' as a joke. Brianna, 16, a transgender girl, died after being stabbed in a park near Warrington earlier this year, a court has previously heard.
Brianna Ghey, 16, 'stabbed 28 times by two children' in park

Two children accused of murdering transgender teen Brianna Ghey allegedly stabbed her 28 times after luring her into a park.
The 16-year-old suffered wounds in the head, neck, back and chest with a "catastrophic blood loss". Her body was discovered by dog walkers in Lunear Park in Culcheth, near Warrington, Cheshire, last February.

Acting together, they planned and executed their plan to kill Brianna Ghey.”

Miss Heer said: “Over time, they encouraged one another to think about how they would actually carry out a killing, and the messages show how they planned together to kill Brianna in just the way that she was in fact killed.” In November last year they had discussed killing and torturing a boy. And in a message sent to her co-accused the girl wrote: “I love watching torture vids. Real ones on the dark web.”
In another message, written in December last year, she said she was “obsessed” with
