Notes about the serial killers Harold Shipman and Jeffrey Dahmer were found in the bedroom of a teenager accused of killing Brianna Ghey, a court has heard.
Two teenagers, referred to as girl X and boy Y, are charged with murdering Ghey, a 16-year-old transgender girl, who was stabbed near Warrington on February 11.
Manchester Crown Court was told that when police searched girl X’s bedroom, they found a number of handwritten notes, including a plan to kill Ghey.
Deanna Heer KC, prosecuting, told the jury today that on Feb 3 girl X sent boy Y a picture of a handwritten note headed: “Saturday 11th February 2023. Victim: Brianna Ghey.”
The note read: “Meet Y at wooden posts 1pm. Walk down to library… bus stop. Wait until Brianna gets off bus then the 3 of us walk to linear park.
“Go to the pipe/tunnel area. I say code word to Y. He stabs her in the back as I stab her in the stomach. Y drags the body into the area. We both cover up the area with logs etc.”
A second note read: “Give them alcohol with sleeping pills, slit throat, dismember body, place pieces in bin bags bury bags 7 feet underground… Get her to go to linear park, go to the hidden spot near the bridge I usually go to, someone jumps out and restrains her (plan B). I kill her.”
There were also writings about serial killers, including Jeffrey Dahmer, Richard Ramirez and Harold Shipman, the court heard.
