TL;DR Summary

Two teenagers in the UK have been found guilty of the brutal murder of Brianna Ghey, a transgender 16-year-old, after stabbing her 28 times in a park. The court heard that the pair had an "unhealthy fascination with murder and torture" and had planned the attack, luring Ghey to the park before carrying out the frenzied stabbing. The teenagers, referred to as "Girl X" and "Boy Y," had shared messages discussing their fantasies about murder and torture. Ghey's death has left the LGBT community in grief, and the case is not being prosecuted as a hate crime. The teenagers will be sentenced in February.
