The Transfemicide of Brianna Ghey

The Transfemicide of Brianna Ghey

England, 2023: 

Brianna Ghey, a 16 year old school girl was lured out of her home and to a park, where she became the victim of a violent attack, planned by a girl who she thought was her friend. But this wasn’t the first time this friend tried to take Brianna’s life… 

Her name was Scarlett Jenkinson and devastatingly, this time Scarlett’s plan worked. Brianna would not survive her injuries and tragically passed away at the scene.

Scarlett had enlisted the help of Eddie Ratcliffe, an unpopular boy with a hateful streak. Together they’d devised an evil murder plot for Brianna. Their whatsapp messages revealed a horrifying web of evidence. Devised kill lists, dark web obsessions and uncensored, unforgivable homophobic and transphobic messages. 

Then, to know when to begin their attack on Brianna, they used the code word ‘GAY’.

But despite all this, Brianna’s murder has still not been classed as a hate crime.

And the trigger for Brianna’s murder in the first place? Scarlett was jealous, because Brianna was deemed prettier than her, and Biranna was trans.
