Brianna Ghey's mother sobbed as she explained why she feels she "failed" her daughter.

Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe were both 15 when they killed Brianna, 16, with a hunting knife after luring her to a park in a village near Warrington in February 2023.

In her statement after the pair were sentenced for murdering the transgender teenager, Esther Ghey said she "failed by allowing [Brianna] to meet Scarlett on that Saturday afternoon."

Speaking on the BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg on 4 February, Ms Ghey said: “As a parent, I'm all that Brianna had. I'm the one that was supposed to look after her."
