This is the best summary I could come up with:


Within 24 hours of the murder of Brianna Ghey, investigating officers had identified the suspects - two teenagers who thought that hiding the most brutal of killings would be easy.

Sixteen-year-old Brianna, who was transgender, was stabbed 28 times in broad daylight in Culcheth Linear Park in Cheshire on the afternoon of 11 February.

"Holy crap" was boy Y's reply despite the pair later admitting to police they were present during the stabbing - albeit blaming each other for the killing.

For Det Ch Supt Mike Evans, it became clear early on that the two school pupils believed they could cover their tracks.

Det Ch Supt Evans continued: "I don't think many of us has ever seen the level of depravity shown and the dehumanising nature of the text messages between the two, and the hatred towards Brianna and others for no reason whatsoever.

"This actually gave us detailed knowledge and insight into the relationship of the two defendants, what they talked about, the dark fantasies and the content of those messages were chilling," she added.
