The Chilling Betrayal in the Woods: Brianna Ghey's Final Friendship
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ต.ค. 2024
- In a small English town, two British teenagers, Scarlett and Eddie, lured their transgender classmate, Brianna Ghey, into the woods under false pretenses and brutally stabbed her 28 times.
The motive remains unclear, but their dark interests and twisted online activities played a role.
Was the sentencing fair, considering their ages and mental health conditions?

Thank you Chris. Can’t believe these little monsters got off so easy 20-25 years, they should have locked up for life.
The UK rarely uses life sentences. Even their life sentences are about 40 years.
The urge said it doesn't mean they will be automatically released after serving their minimum sentences. IF THEY ARE STILL A THREAT TO SOCIETY BY THE PAROLE BOARD ,THEY ARE STAYING IN PRISON .every parole hearing the victims loved ones can appear and reject their application ..I hope tgey also rot but it's a justice system and not a revenge system .
They weren’t sentenced for 20 years, they were given life with a minimum parole date of 20 years, doesn’t mean they will be released then.
At the very least, she wasn't alone in her last moments... Absolutely heartbreaking and sickening.
Thank God that couple was there for her so she was at least comforted in her last moments 🙏May she rest in peace 🙏

Reminds me of the Slenderman attempted killing here in Wisconsin. Two young girls try and stab their friend to death. She managed to survive. They both went to a mental hospital. One got out and the other is still trying to get out.
They should have stayed locked up for life. Why are they letting these psychos out?
Pure Evil ..
It would be better for society if this pair are never ever released from incarceration.
This is why I get so worried about who my daughter is hanging out with. These girls today are just ruthless 😢
Tell her to trust her intuition and that she can call you anytime, day or night (even if she’s somewhere she shouldn’t be) to get her out of there. Sending hugs, brining up girls is terrifying in so many ways! ❤❤❤
I get upset so many young people these days think nothing of murdering someone. It's a very scary world we live in 😢 I do not envy parents raising children, and I feel sorry for our young people trying to navigate through life in a dangerous environment. 🙏
Yes they are. Talk to her about her safety. Have her carry mace. You can put a tracker on her phone.
@@redmare1746 I feel like they’re desensitized to like everything now, and it’s very sad. I love my kids, but it really makes me question my decision to have had them with everything that goes on in the world nowadays
@@KassKat519they are 😢 it’s a mix of parents mostly being out of the house working and technology. Sad and scary!
Thank you for covering Brianna's story.
My daughter was friends with both Brianna and Scarlett. When Scarlett first joined my daughters school, she was a bit odd, saying she was a witch and she'd used blood magic to kill people, weird things like that. My daughter and her friends just thought she was lonely and attention seeking so they let her hang round with them during school time. My daughter sat with her in a few classes including after-school revision clubs etc and she seemed nice, quiet and normal.
I'm not sure whether Culcheth high school told Birchwood high all the reasons why Scarlett was expelled, I know Culcheth is undergoing a safeguarding review to see if they could have done anything differently.
I certainly think birchwood could have done things differently or better for Brianna but obviously that's with hindsight and no one saw this happening, obviously we have crime round here but nothing like this.
After listening to a lot of reports from journalists inside the court, I truly believe Scarletts clothes weren't tested properly, there were issues with CSI technicians getting there quickly and financial restraints on what was tested and what they did test of Scarletts doesn't match what she was wearing as seen on cctv.
I think Scarlett is going to need a lot of help before she's even considered for release, if she's ever suitable to be let out. Even in the youth detention centre she's making kill lists of people including staff.
My daughter and her friends didn't know Eddie, but I get the impression that without Scarletts influence, he never would have done anything like this, he probably would have just been the weird nerdy kid that did well at school but didn't have many friends.
We've just had the 1 year vigil last weekend for Briannas death, a very sad occasion but her mum was able to attend, she's an amazingly tough lady who's trying to make positive changes to support mental wellbeing in local schools and social media changes to protecting children.
Thanks for sharing all this. We rarely hear about the people left behind other than a news story here and there.
I hate it when people hate others for being who they are
There's a different between those and the Devil..... think of something nice in your life and those might be on their way to happiness...
@@clifffowler2581What?
I hate it too. I hate it when the innocent suffer. It breaks my heart when children are killed in war.

Justice for Brianna Ghey
So sad what happened to her 😢
@@KDiamond666him
Hey
@@SuperKiaohow obsessed are you with dead trans children? Do your employers know you do this in your free time?
Olay
As a Brit, it is shameful just how nasty some children can become. There are stabbings almost every weekend and tragedies such as this becoming all too common. How are the perpetrators dragged up to think this type of behaviour is acceptable? I despair for the future.
Another heartbreaking one. As if that poor girl's life wasn't already hard enough these monsters have to just end it. Chris the way you tell stories is always with such compassion and respect. I really appreciate and respect the way you craft these videos. You guys are rock stars.
❤Thank you Chris❤
🧡 Our pleasure Bridgett! Thank you!
Your treatment of this case is one of the reasons I will continue to support your channel. Thank you for your compassion.
I’ve never heard of this case before. Thanks guys. I hate when every true crime channel is talking about the same case, especially when they have no new info to add. Great job!!
The world has gone mad. Kids need more parenting these days, but they're getting less.
Thanks Chris. I love you both. So sad. What makes people so evil?💕
We wish we knew Ms C. Thank you.
This happened 10 miles from where I live in Cheshire,England in 2023 and case went to court in Jan 2024,so sad,what is the world coming to 😞
Such a tragedy. Brianna thought she had found a true friend. I cannot imagine what that poor girl was thinking when she saw what was going to happen to her. God bless those hikers that found her and stayed with her. Sadly, it was too late. My heart goes out to Brianna's family.
I pray those two sickos never get out!!
Thank you Chris and a hello to Amy.😊
🕊️❤️🙏
Good evening, Chris and Amy.
Miss seeing you, Amy.
Have a great week 😊
You will see her soon Mary, promise!
I was just thinking I hadn’t seen Amy in a while. Love you guys!! ❤️
Thank you for sharing Chris 😢💔, God bless you and Amy, stay safe always❤❤
It's an outrage that, "life," could turn into 22 years, or 20 years in the UK. The fact is those kids are teenagers. They would still have half of life ahead of them potentially. Life in prison should mean life in prison. It should especially have an age limit that one would have to reach before release could even be considered. An elderly age limit. Horrible rotten people to murder an innocent person. Someone who trusted them and actually thought they were friends. Heartbreaking. 💔
More like two thirds of a life left. It’s pathetic isn’t it.
they wont even serve 20 years itll be cut short for good behavior
Let's feed the TH-cam algorithm monster, TCR Fam.

It's been a good winter here in Western Canada (better than the Maritimes; St John's Newfoundland just can't get a break. They keep getting buried in snow.), but I am ready for spring.

Thank you, Amy and Chris it seems the world 🌎 needs to not judge or be judged.
they need to be locked up for good, can’t risk them doing this to someone else
Always interesting.
Stories like this makes Me glad I dont have many friends, and like my own company.
Thank you❤
You two never disappoint ❤

As an English person it’s been horrifying to see this case unfold in the news. It isn’t coincidence that this comes at a time in which the government is vilifying trans women, and I thank you for covering this case respectfully regarding Bruanna’s identity and pronouns etc.
Also, for future reference, the suffix “shire” is usually pronounced “shear”.
(And the same cannot be said for the prime minister who recently made a transphobic joke in front of Brianna’s mother in the House of Commons, and refused to apologise when asked to do so by her father. )
Trans women are men.
@@JF0xgood.
What a couple of demons! Justice for brianna!
This is one of the worst cases I've heard of I think. I can relate so much to Brianna. I was also a bit of a lonely girl at her age, with some mental health issues. I trusted too easy, luckily my so-called friends weren't out to hurt me that bad. But I can totally relate to the feeling of betrayal when you suddenly realize the person you've thought of as a friend, suddenly turned into your worst enemy. Especially if all you've wanted to do was to make sure everyone was doing ok!
RIP sweet angel!
Another one I hadn't heard about. Thanks Chris! ☮️💜
Thanks for listening
Such a sad story 😞 May she rest in peace 💔💗❤️
First! I’ve never been first before 😂😂😂. So sorry for the girl in this crime. God bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Congrats ❤

Thanks Chris! Haven't seen Amy for ages!
That's what I wonder to, are they still together.
@@cindyrussell1581I didn't wonder about anything, just commented I haven't seen Amy for ages. It's none of my business.
The ten commandments is always available for people who don't understand how life is supposed to work.

Wow. I mean, just... wow.
I really have nothing else to say, except, wow.
I just... *shakes head*
Don't be like these two monsters, TCR Fam; be genuine and take care of one another.
Culcheth it's not a town it's a village, belonging to the borough of Warrington, which in turn is the biggest town in the district of Cheshire. Also she wasn't lure to the woods (in American terms) it's a park.
Good to know Ty ❤
@@KDiamond666 You're welcome.
This story is so sad and shocking .They show no regard to human life at all.
Hi Chris! How's Amy? ❤❤❤
She's great! Tune in tomorrow to see her!
Ok!
Hey Chris! 🩷
Hi Ash & Emi!
It seems like their motives were different; for Eddie it was transphobia, for Scarlett it seems she just wanted to k1ll for the thrill. Yet another young life stolen away for a totally senseless reason.
Scary world we live in
So sad 😢
Imagine being bulied everyday and put in inclusion bc she was sacred to get harssered and then thought that u were going to meet a friend but u get ur neck split open and stabbed as u fall down 😢
One of the killers was from my town, and I used to drive through Culcheth on my way to work. It's unbelievable that it could happen in what is generally a very quiet and rather middle class village. Such a horrific crime. RIP Brianna.
What a horrid couple of monsters these two are!
My sincere condolences to the family of Brianna(such a beautiful young person)….such a senseless horrific crime!!!
i hope prison does not go well for those two monsters…:i have NO pity for either of them!
Great show❤❤❤
What is wrong with these kids today as he as qell as she were good in school could have made something out of their lives. Yet they rather kill some young classmate .may she rest in peace and justice is served for her. As I am so sorry for her family may they find closure. I hope these kids today wake-up !!!!
Poor Brianna, she seemed like such a sweet bright girl with a lot of potential. I firmly believe that teenagers who commit acts like this should never be let out without strict restrictions and constant monitoring. In my opinion the orchestrator is as (or more) dangerous as the follower. I still hate the fact that Karla Homolka is out scott free after the heinous murders she committed.
One for the algorithm. Cheers!
I think that these two could well have killed others if they hadn't been caught.
it was a brutal disgusting attack because she was trans one of my sisters in the trans community so sad people need to stop attacking my sisters :( RIP
Rip Brianna. M4l3 violence is a huge problem
That poor girl 🥺🥺🥺 she was so beautiful and had a pretty smile. She just wanted to hangout with friends 😭 Rip 🤍
RIP, Brianna 🥺💔
Poor thing, it's not up to us to judge...
No one was judging. These two just wanted to take a life and chose Brianna because of how trusting he was. That's tragic that a kid can't trust their own friends but sadly that's what happened. Don't forget they almost chose several other people.
@@user-vd2jk7dl3p That's not even close to what I was talking about. I was talking about them judging her.
@@kristieskinner819 Again. They didn't. He was just the most convenient target. From what I understand from other reports they still may have had plans to fo after the others on the list.
@@user-vd2jk7dl3p "to see if she screamed like a boy or a girl" - direct quote from the killers. Stop acting like her identity played no role in her murder.
@opheliarosewood7847 That does not show that they killed him for that reason at all. Do you think they had better things to say about the other kids on the list? If trans was the reason you would have WAY more to back it up than this. These kids all hung out together. They were not ashamed to be seen with him. They said why they did this. He was the easier target. That's all. Full stop. There is nothing in their past to suggest that they hated people with gender dysphagia. Not internet searches that they conducted or message board posts of them engaging in conversations about hating this type of person. Nothing.... What we do have is lots and lots of evidence that they had a complete disregard for human life in general and a list of people that they targeted, suggesting that the victim could have been anyone.
May he rest in peace.
This has hit the transgender community in the UK hard.
A stark warning of the dangers of becoming too friendly with others with very cruel intentions.
RIP Brianna, you didn't deserve this.
What a shocking betrayal of trust. All these 'gender critical' creeps enabling this sort of behaviour.
Were all the ppl on their list trans? No. Maybe that part was not the reason 🤔. Nobody enables this, stop trying to create a boogeyman out of normal ppl. She was obsessed with wanting to kill, that's it, it seems.
@atilitywhisperer7616 The murderers explicitly mentioned targeting her so they could "hear if it screamed like a boy or a girl". She was absolutely targeted for her identity. And saying 'nobody enables this' is idiotic. Hate breeds more hate. We are targeted for hate crimes, beaten, and killed at shocking rates. Hate like that absolutely fuels crimes like this.
@@opheliarosewood7847i think just ignoring these people who don't have common sense is better, thanks for replying to a bunch of them tho
That girl is terrifying
This was so sad😢 my home town 😢
very sad. rest in peace.🌸
they should have life in prison.
Claiming that being called "cis" is offensive is like getting mad at being called "right-handed"-both are simply descriptive terms, not insults. Transphobia, on the other hand, is a real problem that stems from the same toxic well as misogyny. The hate directed at trans women is rooted in a broader disdain for femininity itself, which is why trans men are often sidelined in these conversations. This isn’t about discomfort with labels; it's about a deep-seated fear of anything that challenges rigid gender norms. Eradicating transphobia means dismantling the very systems that degrade all expressions of femininity, and by extension, women themselves. It’s high time we recognize that our fight against gender-based hate is incomplete if we don’t stand with trans women. Let’s stop policing identities and start celebrating the rich diversity of gender expression in all its forms.
OMG,,Poor girl, some kids/young adults can be so evil!!
Boy
@@SuperKiaoMen be self deleting themselves at high rates😂
@@SuperKiao so now we're disrespecting the dead, huh?
People of any age are evil, kids who are bullies grow up and have kids who become bullies.
Thank you Chris and Amy. Hatred will always reign supreme until we all find...I can't say it because...well, to me, God, faith and love conquers all. To me.❤
A particularly pointless murder. At least they put as much thought into escaping as they did into killing (which is to say, next to none)
Red room+horror movie=movie fifty Shades of grey
Stay in prison for life!!!!!!!!!
Teacher's children always seem to be wild.
Why would they do that to her? 😭
If only someone who cared about Brianna would’ve helped him accept the young man he was, perhaps Brianna would’ve been here today. Those who affirmed his delusional beliefs that he was a woman are, sadly, partly to blame for his struggles.
I don’t care who you are. No one has the right to take your life for any reason. I do believe we are in a spiritual war right now.
Scarlet’s
Morbid bicuriositendencies and Oddie’s wingwoman dependence murdered Brianna. Puberty.
I ultimately don't get bothered by many stories but this one did.
Eddie and his "selective mustism" . utter manipulstiin....thee pair of them.are as bad as each other. Crime Scene to Courtroom covered this case very well.
22 Years?! Can’t say what I’m really thinking! I always get deleted! LOL
I think the “girl where are you?” text wasn’t Brianna. I think it was meant to seem like they had never met up.
Why are so many in the comments acting as though Brianna was killed because of transgenderism? These two were really messed up and they chise Brianna because of how much trust was built up made it easier. Thats really clear here. Why make the case out to be something its not?
exactly, gender issues should not even be brought up here
The media wants to paint it that way
The murders mentioned wanting to "Hear if it screamed like a girl or a boy". The murder wasn't just fueled by hate, but it certainly played a role in them choosing her as a victim.
It was BOTH
@@stonerb0y420 No reason to believe it was both. The killers told us. Case closed.
What is with all these light sentences recently? And people wonder why others kill.
It's scary that knife crimes in the UK has gone up in years, I'm 35 and scared to walk alone, when this case happened I wish death sentence was still around.
I mean 20 and 22 years in jail, they will be out in 15 because the British system is soft.
Minimum term of 20 years 🤦🏼♀️
Our son is autistic, has ADHD and mild brain damage, a few people we know think we're way to overprotective of him, we disagree. He's never met a stranger, he'll talk to anyone, he thinks everyone is his friend, even though we've told him so many times there are people that would want to hurt him. He goes to a day center 3 times a week and they all know the only one he's allowed to leave is my husband and or I, he also works 2 times a week, we're really good friends with the 2 office girls, and they both know no one else picks him up but us. He's on the Special Olympics team for our little town, we go to all practices, tournaments, if it's an overnight event, he stays with his team and my husband, and I stay at a hotel 5 minutes away. He's 30 and will always live with us at home. I think even Satan himself would be afraid of these two.
Life is life don't sugar coat it they will still have a life if they get out Life keep them in there Maybe if we fight for life it will hold up NEVER GET OUT THATS LIFE!!!😡
People can’t control what’s going on in their own pants but are always telling you what to do with yours.
What dies that have to do with this case? All evidence points to Brianna being murdered because he was the most trusting and an easier target than the others on the list. If this was about what people had in their pants there would be evidence of it. There would be other kids with genderdysphoria on the list.
Wow this is so sad 😞 just looking at Brianna I can feel how beautiful her soul was. RIP luv 🙏🏽🕊💜
Genuinely wonder if Scarlet was actually jealous of how much prettier, and happier, Brianna was than her. RIP sweet spirit 🙌
❤❤👍
Rip Brianna.
Anyways
men be self deleting themselves at high rates 😂
Love American pronunciations of British towns! lol😂
I can’t believe they murdered that young man. People are brutal.
Why cloak your hate? Weren't you taught if you don't have anything nice to say not to say anything at all?
@@JessRenee91481it was a boy though
@SuperKiao not in the way that matters. In every way that does she was a girl. The bits and parts define your sex, they do not define your gender. If a man has cancer and his testicles are removed he's not less of a man. Or if a woman has a hysterectomy she's not less of a woman. The parts are just parts. What matters is what happens between the ears. That can't be changed. Multiple studies have indicated that trangender people have brains that are more in line with their gender than their biological sex. Yes, male and female brains are physically different.
Can you just respect her for once?
Don't act like you care about her if you are going to disrespect her memory like that
Just to correct you, the Headteacher at Birchwood School was unaware that Scarlett attempted to poison a student at her previous school
When I first saw this story I thought Eddie was the trans one
Chris, you were trying too hard to be politically correct. Your fear of TH-cam is palpable
Or maybe he's just not a complete jerk. Being human and respectful isn't being politically correct.
TH-cam is extremely far right and hates trans people.
The worst part is that parents do not get mental health treatment for their mentally impaired kids. I mean if my kid told me they were a unicorn, I would tell them the truth …. You are not a unicorn sweetie. How hard is that? I am sorry that young man was murdered
i love how you made this about her being trans rather than the two teens who made murder plans for several people, really shows your character
fun fact! respecting someone’s gender identity isn’t that hard
Rip that young man didn’t deserve this 😢
Girl*
LOL based
Young women.
you are feeding into the hate that caused this murder
Not her dying from a hate crime and people out here still miss-gendering her, you're no better then the guy who killed her who was also homophobic.
This world needs Jesus Christ!
Rest in pride, Brianna. 🏳️⚧️💕 You deserved better.
It's always sad when an innocent person is killed and I really love your channel but he was a he not a she or do you believe men can get pregnant
You mean , they stabbed him in the back? Not her
they both should rot in jail
He didn't deserve to be murdered; however, seeing as they were all friends, seems doubtful they targeted him for identifying as transgender. Sad story regardless. All of their parents failed them.
You're as hateful as those 2 murderers. Yuck.
1. they weren't friends. They were pretending to be her friends to get closer to her.
2. The murders explicitly talked about wanting to 'hear if it screamed like a boy or a girl". Although this wasn't explicitly meant to be a hate crime, its dumb to say her identity played no role in her being targeted.
3. you can play innocent all you like, but you are playing into the hatred that causes cases like this to happen. Take it from someone who has been victim to violence because of my identity, all you are doing is making things worse for us.
@@opheliarosewood7847 - 1. They were his friends. You have no evidence that they befriended him with the sole intention of murdering him.
2. As you admitted, wanting to know whether this boy sounded masculine when screaming does not make this a hate crime. Moreoever, there is no proof they choose him because he identified as trans--they chose him and then expressed a morbid fascination of what it would be like to kill him. Moreover, that's actually an interesting question scientifically speaking. The dude was probably intentionally altering his voice, so one might wonder whether his voiced was permanently altered or if he goes back to sounding more like himself when he's not thinking about it.
3. If your identity is based on a lie, you should be targetted and shamed for that. Doesn't mean you should be physically hurt, but a man shouldn't feel comfortable pretending he is a woman. You've brought the attention onto yourself if that's what you're doing, though I do not condone violence in most scenarios.
@@TransWomenAreMen "You should be targeted and shamed for that" is the exact logic that people use to kill people like me. You are the reason we have to fear that stuff like this might happen to us every day.
