Teen, 16, admits having dark fantasies about murdering Brianna Ghey but denies killing her

A TEENAGER admitted having dark fantasies about murdering schoolgirl Brianna Ghey — but denied she actually killed her, a court heard.

The 16-year-old, identified only as Girl X, said, when challenged on the thoughts: “I don’t know where it comes from.”

Jurors heard she had become obsessed with torture and killing after watching the dark web.

Brianna, 16, was knifed 28 times in Warrington, Cheshire, in February.

A handwritten note of an alleged murder plan to kill Brianna, which was found in Girl X’s bedroom, was presented yesterday at Manchester crown court.

Girl X is on trial with another teen, Boy Y, for murder, and both accuse each other of killing Brianna.

The trial continues.

She previously claimed that Brianna had left her and Boy Y, also on trial for murder, in the park to go and meet a lad.

Recently, she said she went to “hang out” with Boy Y and Brianna.

Girl X said: “I thought I would walk around.

“I heard a noise and saw Boy Y stabbing Brianna.”
