On 11 February 2023, Brianna Ghey, a 16-year-old English transgender girl, was murdered in a premeditated attack by Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe. After being lured into Culcheth Linear Park by Jenkinson, Ghey was fatally stabbed. Jenkinson and Ratcliffe, both aged 15 at the time, were arrested the day after the attack, and were eventually charged with murder. The pair were convicted on 20 December 2023 at Manchester Crown Court and were sentenced on 2 February 2024 to be detained at His Majesty's pleasure, with a minimum of 22 years for Jenkinson and 20 years for Ratcliffe, before being eligible for parole. The court concluded that the offence was primarily motivated by sadistic tendencies and that transphobia was a secondary motive for Ratcliffe.
