Mother of Eddie Ratcliffe, who was sentenced to 20 years for the ‘sadistic’ murder, said at the time he ‘clearly knows right and wrong’

The mother of Eddie Ratcliffe, one of Brianna Ghey’s killers, described him in the aftermath of the murder as “a good child, with good morals and a loving, caring family behind him” who was on track to apply for Oxford.

Brianna, aged 16, was stabbed to death in a “sadistic” and “exceptionally brutal” murder in a Warrington park on 11 February 2023 by Ratcliffe and Scarlett Jenkinson, who were both 15 at the time.
