Wonder if any of the killers' parents are there ?

I can't imagine they wouldn't be. I hope the press leaves them alone.

How Brianna Ghey's killer met victim in school's 'inclusion unit'

EXCLUSIVE: Until her arrest on February 12, Scarlett Jenkinson seemed to be an ordinary teenager. But behind a friendly façade lay dark fantasies about torture and serial killers

Scarlett Jenkinson was moved to Brianna Ghey's school after being expelled from another comprehensive for trying to 'poison' a fellow pupil with cannabis sweets, MailOnline can reveal today.

Until her arrest on February 12 for the murder of Brianna, Jenkinson seemed to be an ordinary teenage girl.

The then-15-year-old was seen by neighbours as quiet and somewhat anxious, born to 'hard-working' parents - a tradesman father and a mother who worked in education.

But behind the façade lay obsessions with torture and murder, dark fantasies and expert knowledge on serial killers - knowledge Jenkinson would draw on to build up her own 'kill list' of other children and ultimately plot Brianna's death.

The teenager had already been expelled from 'several' schools by the time she joined Birchwood Community High in Warrington, Cheshire.

And today, as Jenkinson is revealed as Girl X, it can be revealed that she was most recently expelled for attempting to poison a fellow pupil with cannabis 'gummies' which made them ill.

Jenkinson persuaded the girl to take two of the sweets, which were laced with marijuana, in Culcheth High School's library - but the pupil became seriously unwell and needed hospital treatment after the attack in October 2022.

The teenager was excluded, and moved to nearby Birchwood High School, where she met Brianna in the 'inclusion unit,' where vulnerable and troubled pupils are taught away from mainstream lessons.

Justice Yip talking about age being a 'very significant feature' in determining minimum term has me worried.

The impact statements from Brianna's family are heartbreaking.

Wonder if any of the killers' parents are there ?

If I were them, I wouldn't go for fear of the press photographing me and publishing it. SJ's family have already been targeted.

After his arrest Ratcliffe became gradually more mute, ......


Each day he appeared in court, carrying his puzzles magazines He was also given tangle or fidget toys, a therapeutic device to aid calmness.

And to let others know how he was, he was provided with an arrow pointer and printed card with numbered options ranging from 1 – ‘I’m feeling fine’ to 5 – ‘I’m feeling poorly’.

Eddie Ratcliffe's family life​

Ratcliffe grew up the middle child of three, with an older brother and younger sister, in Leigh, Greater Manchester.
His mother an online fitness and wellbeing coach and latterly a ski instructor.

Sources have told the PA news agency that she has recently been asked to leave her job as a ski instructor because of the publicity around the case.

Ratcliffe took part in one kick boxing competition in Jamaica in 2018, aged 11, and skiing holidays and weekends boating in the Lake District. He had never been in trouble with police before and was a top student.

Passing eight GCSEs, taken this summer while in custody, Ratcliffe is now teaching himself A-levels in biology, chemistry, pure maths and English literature. He planned to study micro-biology at university

Ratcliffe’s father attended his trial sporadically, his mother every day, often making notes. Their son made no eye contact with either of them throughout.

Ratcliffe is now being held at Barton Moss, the secure youth accommodation unit in Salford,
where his apparent “arrogance” has not endeared him to everyone, sources said.
He has complained about the food,

And after one day’s harrowing evidence in court during the trial last December he returned to his accommodation, breezed into his bedroom and quickly changed into his ‘Christmas jumper’, eager to participate in that night’s festive activities planned for the boys on the unit

very selectively mute isn’t he?

 

[iamshadow21]

And they've found another kill list written by SJ since she's been in custody. Sounds like being arrested hasn't broken her of that habit.

I have no words … surely this is proof the selective mutism / poor little lamb facade was a load of **** ?

 

[elliefant]

Ms Heer says there a number of features which aggravate the crime.

She says a 'significant' feature is the 'degree of planning or preparation'.

The judge notes that this is a 'very unusual case' with little legal precedent.

Ms Heer argues another aggravating feature is Brianna's vulnerability, that she was 16, anxious and nervous about going out, which she says the defendants knew about.

She says another aggravating factor is the 'ferocity' of the attack, with Brianna being mercilessly stabbed 28 times.

She says the judge should also take into account the earlier incident, where Jenkinson now admits giving an overdose of ibuprofen to Brianna.

Ms Heer says the evidence is 'clear' that both defendants intended to kill Brianna.

Ms Heer says that 'another kill list' has since been found in the secure unit where Jenkinson is being held which referred to 'a number of people who were caring for her'.

BOOM. Walked back 'traits of ADHD and autism' for SJ. No PTSD either. Now thinks she has 'a form of antisocial personality disorder'.

CALLED IT.

She says that a psychiatrist assessing Jenkinson previously said she had traits of ADHD or autism.

"He now considers that this is unlikely," Ms Heer says.

He said there is no evidence that she has post traumatic stress disorder.

Ms Heer said the psychiatrist found that she had a 'form of anti-social personality disorder, rather than a mental illness'.

The psychiatrist said Jenkinson has 'conduct dissocial disorder', with 'limited pro-social emotions'.

Jenkinson knew what she was doing was not just wrong but 'very wrong', Ms Heer says.

Ms Heer says it is accepted that Ratcliffe has autistic spectrum disorder but at the 'mild' end.

He has also been diagnosed with selective mutism due to anxiety. But she says that the psychiatrist found his conditions would not have affected his understanding of the messages.

The prosecution submissions have now concluded and the court is taking a short break before defence submissions.

Somebody else can post the defence statements, because I can’t bring myself to even read them

All for effect with ER.
No need for puzzles and typing up answers, he’s playing the system on a monumental scale.
