Brianna Ghey jury shown accused's 'murder plan'

A plan for how to kill Brianna Ghey, found in the bedroom of the girl accused of murdering her, has been given to a jury and details how, where and when she and her co-defendant would stab Brianna to death in a Warrington park, a court has been told.

The note, which has a love heart and a smiley face in the corner, was given to jurors on the ninth day of the two 16-year-olds' murder trial at Manchester crown court, along with a second note that described her alleged accomplice as a "sociopath".

Headed "Saturday 11th February 2023. Victim: Brianna Ghey", it was allegedly written by the girl, known as X to protect her identity, the jury was told. It was found crumpled up in the girl's bedroom a month after she and a boy known as Y were arrested over the killing.

It reads: "Meet [Y] at wooden posts 1pm. Walk down to library... bus stop.
