Eddie Ratcliffe, one of Brianna Ghey’s killers, is set to appeal his murder conviction after being jailed for a minimum of 20 years.

Ratcliffe was 15 when he and Scarlett Jenkinson killed Brianna in Linear Park, Warrington, in February last year.

Brianna was stabbed 28 times by the pair in her head, neck and back in what was described as a ‘frenzied and ferocious attack’.

Jenkinson was jailed for at least 22 years and Ratcliffe for a minimum of 20 years.

At the time Judge Mrs Justice Yip said: ‘Brianna was only 16 years old when she was killed. She had her whole life ahead of her.

‘Brianna had some struggles that made her vulnerable, but she was supported by a loving family who wanted nothing but the best for her.

‘Sadly no-one will know what she would have achieved in her life.’
