The United Kingdom Police has charged two teenagers with the murder of a 16-year-old transgender girl, Brianna Ghey.
Brianna Ghey was fatally stabbed in Warrington, Northwest England, on Saturday.
According to AFP late Wednesday night, the Cheshire Police on Sunday arrested two 15-year-olds, a boy and a girl, charged them with Ghey’s murder on Wednesday.
They are set to appear in court at a later date.
The case has prompted candle-lit vigils across the country in memory of Ghey, who had a large following on social media site TikTok.
In a tribute issued after her death, her family said the teenager was a “much-loved daughter, granddaughter, and baby sister”.
The statement added: “Brianna was beautiful, witty and hilarious. Brianna was strong, fearless and one of a kind.
“The loss of her young life has left a massive hole in our family, and we know that the teachers and her friends who were involved in her life will feel the same.”
