00:00On Saturday, February 11th, 2023 in Warrington, which is a town in the county of Cheshire in England, a terrible
00:08crime occurred.
00:09In Colchette Linear Park, on the ground lay a teenage girl dressed in a white coat, long stockings and a
00:16light-colored skirt.
00:17Her body showed a pattern of very violent wounds, deep cuts on her chest, back and head.
00:24The attack had happened in broad daylight in a visible area.
00:29It seemed more like a message than an attempt to hide a body.
00:33There were no signs of robbery or abuse, but we can only say that there was a clear trail of
00:38hatred.
00:41The victim was Brianna Gay, a 16-year-old trans teenager whose life was just beginning.
00:48That day, which seemed like any other day, just after noon,
00:53the security cameras caught her walking with her well-known white coat and her red hair.
00:59Alone and sending messages from her phone with a pink case.
01:03When they checked Brianna's cell phone,
01:06they realized that Brianna didn't take her usual route or the stop closest to her house,
01:12but instead, someone she was going to meet that day told her to go to a much farther stop than
01:17the one she usually went to.
01:20This person she was going to meet was a friend of hers and classmate named Scarlett Jenkinson.
01:26When the police spoke with Scarlett, she told them that yes,
01:30that day she had arranged to meet Brianna and a friend named Eddie Radcliffe at the bus stop,
01:35and then they went together to the park.
01:37They had planned to spend the afternoon there,
01:39but Brianna left them and left the park to meet up with a 17-year-old boy from Manchester.
01:45The police investigated to find out who this boy Scarlett mentioned was,
01:49but there was no trace of this person.
01:53The police already believed that they were hiding something,
01:55so they didn't waste any time and went to search Eddie and Scarlett's houses.
02:00In Eddie's house, they found the weapon that was used to kill Brianna,
02:05which was a hunting knife he had bought a few weeks earlier on a family trip.
02:09Additionally, in his bedroom, they found clothes with bloodstains,
02:13and on his shoes, there were traces that matched Brianna's DNA.
02:17As if that wasn't enough, there were messages between Scarlett and Eddie,
02:22in which, hours before the attack, they wrote horrible things about Brianna,
02:26with phrases like,
02:31On February 12, 2023, the police arrived at their house in Warrington at the same time and arrested them.
02:38A few months later, on November 27, 2023, the trial began at the Manchester Crown Court.
02:47The sentence was harsh.
02:49Scarlett will have to spend at least 22 years in prison
02:53and Eddie 20 years before they can apply for parole.
