I’m watching it for like the 9,000th time.” In the messages read to the court, girl X said the film was Sweeney Todd and told boy Y he should watch it. He replied: “I’ve got revision and I’m not bringing a knife.” Later that day, girl X messaged boy Y saying: “Let’s kill Brianna tomorrow 6pm.” The court heard that boy Y told her he was unable to carry out the killing on a “school night”. Brianna was always home from school before I get home from work, so I don’t know how often they spent time together.” On the day Brianna died, Ms Ghey said she received a text message from her daughter to say she was on the bus on the way to meet girl X, saying: “I’m scared.” Ms Ghey texted back “That’s well good”.
