The two 16-year-olds, who cannot be named, ran away from Culcheth Linear Park in Warrington shortly after Brianna was stabbed 28 times on 11 February this year, Manchester crown court heard.

Kathryn Vize, who was in the park with her husband, Andrew, that afternoon, told the jury that she had noticed two teenagers - a boy and a girl - running away from what she had initially thought was a dog on the upper path of the park.

She described how the pair broke into an odd "lolloping" run after realising they had been seen, with the boy trying to cover his face with his hood.

She then thought the teenagers might be playing a prank on them, and that what she could see on the path was in fact a "blow-up doll".
