Brianna Ghey’s sick murder had a chilling second “kill list” of staff she intended to butcher at the secure youth accommodation she was being held in, a court was told.
Alongside Eddie Ratcliffe, Ghey was responsible for the death of Brianna, who they stabbed to death in a “frenzied and ferocious” attack.
The pair were today named as the killers during their sentencing hearing at Manchester Crown Court.
The court heard that Ghey had drawn up another list of people she intended to kill, which included staff at a secure youth accommodation she was being held in.
Prosecutor Deanna Heer KC said: “Another kill list was found at the secure unit which refers to names of people caring for her.”
Ms Heer also revealed to the court that Ghey was not considered to have a mental illness after an examination by Dr Richard Church, a consultant forensic psychiatrist.
However, she did present with a severe “conduct dissocial disorder with limited pro-social emotions”.
Ms Heer added: “In Scarlett’s case, she knew what she was doing was wrong and she knew it was very wrong.”
In conclusion, Dr Michael Crawford, another consultant forensic psychiatrist, concluded she had in fact a mild form of autism and selective mutism.
