"Famous Transgender Person Murdered, Wondered 'Would She Scream Like a Woman?'"

Famous Transgender with 30,000 Followers Planned Murder
Unanimous Guilty Verdict by UK Jury

Teenage boy and girl found guilty of murdering a famous transgender person in the UK.

On the 20th (local time), according to the British media outlet The Guardian, two teenagers, a boy and a girl, were found guilty of murdering Brianna Ghehay (16), a transgender influencer with 31,000 followers on the social media platform TikTok.

The jury at Manchester Crown Court unanimously confirmed their guilt. The sentencing is scheduled for next month.

They planned the murder of Brianna through the messenger app WhatsApp. They referred to Brianna as "it" or "prey," saying, "I wonder if she will scream like a man or like a woman."

They had been friends with Brianna and lured her to Linia Park in Warington Culches on February 12, where they committed the crime. They stabbed Brianna 28 times with a weapon, killing her.

They had been friends since they were 11 years old, and after being arrested on murder charges, each claimed that the other was the one who killed Brianna.

The Guardian jury stated, "There is no need to decide who stabbed Brianna," and Chief Investigator Nigel Pa described it as "a reckless murder committed by two teenagers obsessed with the 'feeling' of murder."

Judge Amanda Ip said, "The defendants should be sentenced to life imprisonment," and added, "We are considering whether to disclose their real names to the media."

Since the incident, several candlelight vigils organized by the LGBTQ+ community have been held in cities such as Liverpool and Bristol to commemorate Brianna.

However, the police stated, "Although it was a planned crime, we have found no evidence that Brianna was killed because she was transgender."

At a press conference after the verdict, Brianna's mother said, "I felt sympathy for them until I realized that the perpetrators have no remorse for killing Brianna," adding, "I miss Brianna so much. The house feels empty without her."
