Brianna Ghey: Blaming Each Other

Daily Mail
About this episode

In this episode Caroline and Liz examine the final part of the prosecution opening of their case as it was presented to the court.


They reveal how the jury has been told that the two teenagers accused of her murder had allegedly planned to kill her two weeks earlier but that Brianna had failed to show up.


The court has also heard how a handwritten 'murder plan' and clothing stained in Brianna's blood were discovered at their homes following their arrest.


And the first people to come across Brianna's body after she had been stabbed have told of their horror, as the trial moves into hearing evidence from the witnesses.


The Trial takes listeners behind the headlines and into the courtrooms of some of the biggest trials in the world.


The first series ‘The Trial of Lucy Letby’ was a global hit, with more than 13 million downloads, while season two focused on the murder of Ashling Murphy, a 23-year-old teacher from Ireland.


Its third season follows the tragic case of Brianna Ghey, a 16-year-old transgender girl killed in Warrington, England.


Follow the evidence as the jury hears it, in twice-weekly reports from The Daily Mail’s Northern Correspondent Liz Hull and broadcast journalist Caroline Cheetham. 


They’ll take you into the courtroom, bringing you the detail as the evidence unfolds, examining key moments and carrying out exclusive interviews with detectives, victims, and experts.
