THE trial of two teenagers accused of the murder of 16-year-old Brianna Ghey in Culcheth, has today (Friday) been fixed for November.
Brianna, from Birchwood was found with multiple stab wounds in Culcheth Linear Park, on Saturday afternoon in February 11 this year and she died shortly afterwards.
Her alleged killers, a girl from Warrington, now aged 16, and a 15-year-old boy from Leigh, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had been due to face trial in July but this date was abandoned earlier this month.
A hearing about the case, which the defendants did not attend, took place today at Liverpool Crown Court and Mrs Justice Yip fixed the new trial date to begin on November 27 at Manchester Crown Square. It is expected to last three weeks.
