Brianna Ghey’s parents call for compassion for her killers’ families

Esther Ghey says teenagers who murdered her daughter have shown no remorse, but asks for empathy for their parents

The mother of Brianna Ghey said her daughter’s killers had not shown “an ounce of remorse” but urged “some empathy and compassion” for their parents, who wept in court as the guilty verdicts were announced.

Brianna, 16, was stabbed 28 times in a park in Warrington in February. Two teenagers, known as Girl X and Boy Y to protect their identities, were found guilty of her murder unanimously by a jury on Wednesday.
