Asked about January 28 when Brianna didn’t turn up, Boy Y said of Girl X: “She didn’t really seem annoyed, didn’t notice any disappointment.”
The officer asked: “How can we think that preserving body parts is normal and talking about dead babies is not normal?”
Boy Y said: “I didn’t think it was…I don’t think it was right, but I just thought she was using an example to learn about preservatives.”
The officer asked: “Boy Y this is dead important right, if you are not the person that has stabbed this girl to death, right, and it was Girl X, please explain to me why you would need to bring a knife with you on that day?”
Boy Y said: “I never brung a knife there.”
The officer said the post-mortem examination described the injuries which Brianna suffered as a ‘frenzied and sustained attack’.
“Brianna was stabbed 26 times, across her entire body, Boy Y, not three times, as you’ve described to us earlier.
“In the first interview I said at least three times,” Boy Y said. “That’s only what I saw.”
The officer said: “Ok but then you said you want for a wee and it was like 30 seconds and you turned back around, so 30 seconds of turning back round for someone to stab another person 26 times.”
“There wasn’t much noise going on around me, I only heard a thud of someone chucking a bag on the floor or something,” Boy Y said.
The officer claimed that Boy Y and Girl X had ‘actively made arrangements’ to meet while ‘armed with weapons…with the sole purpose of murdering this young girl’.
“I never tried to murder anyone, it goes against everything I already know and believe, everything,” Boy Y said.
The officer asked him: “We’ve recovered a weapon that we believe was used to murder Brianna and the weapon that we’ve seized is a hunting style knife similar to what you described on your interview earlier, can you account for that?”
“When I got home and washed my hands and everything because I was panicking and screaming and touching the knife, to try and calm myself down and scraping it along my hands,” Boy Y said.
