Brianna Ghey’s parents gave heartfelt statements following the conviction of two unnamed teenagers, referred to as girl X and boy Y, for the murder of their 16-year-old daughter. At Manchester Crown Court on December 20th, Esther Ghey shared, “Brianna was a vibrant force. She had a great sense of humor, wit, and bravery.

Brianna’s father, Peter Spooner, added, “When I look into her eyes, I see a beautiful girl that we were proud of. It’s painful to know that her life was taken from her in such a brutal way and she was robbed of the future she dreamed of.”
According to the court, the phone number of the killer was saved in the phone under the name ‘Tesco John Wick’.
During the trial, it was revealed that girl X had stored boy Y’s phone number in her device under the alias “Tesco John Wick”, referencing a character portrayed by Keanu Reeves in a movie about a ruthless assassin.

During the court proceedings, it was revealed that teenager X had informed Y via WhatsApp that she was fixated on Brianna. Additionally, police discovered a crumpled handwritten plan to murder Brianna on X’s bedroom floor.
During the search of X’s residence following her arrest, law enforcement discovered a written note dated “Saturday, February 11th, 2023” with the name “Brianna Ghey” listed as the victim. Below this, the word “plan” was written, and a smiley face and heart shape were drawn in the upper right corner.
The message stated: “Meet [boy Y] at the wooden posts at 1pm. We will then walk to the library and wait for Brianna to get off the bus. The three of us will then proceed to Linear Park, specifically to the pipe/tunnel area. I will give the code word to [boy Y], who will stab her in the back while I stab her in the stomach. [Boy Y] will then drag the body into the area and we will cover it up with logs and other items.”

The hunting knife with a wooden handle, priced at £13.50, was discovered in his bedroom. It had Brianna’s blood on it and his DNA was found on the handle. His internet search history from the end of the previous year also revealed searches for different types of poisons such as VX nerve agents, sarin, and tabun.
