A crumpled, hand-written note of an alleged “murder plan” to kill transgender teenager Brianna Ghey was found on the bedroom floor of one of her alleged killers, a court has heard.
Notes were also made on serial killers including Jeffrey Dahmer, Richard Ramirez and Harold Shipman in a black Pukka notebook when police searched the home of the 16-year-old suspect, identified only as Girl X, the jury at Manchester Crown Court was told.
Girl X and another youth, identified only as boy Y, both now 16 but aged 15 at the time of Brianna’s death, are blaming each other for the stabbing and both have pleaded not guilty to murder, their trial has heard.
Brianna was stabbed 28 times with a hunting knife during a “frenzied” attack after being lured to Linear Park in Culcheth, near Warrington, on February 11. Both suspects, spotted with Brianna earlier that day, were arrested and their homes searched.
Junior prosecution counsel Cheryl Mottram read out a list of agreed facts to the jury on day nine of the trial, including items seized from girl Y’s bedroom.
