UK teens found guilty of killing trans girl

MANCHESTER, United Kingdom: Two British teenagers were found guilty on Wednesday of the “disturbing” murder of a 16-year-old transgender girl who died in a “frenzied and ferocious” knife attack.

Brianna Ghey, who was born male but lived as a female, was stabbed 28 times in her head, neck, back and chest in Warrington, northwest England, in February.

Her body was discovered by dog walkers in a park. During the trial, the court heard how the pair -- a boy and a girl now aged 16 who cannot be named because of their ages -- discussed killing Ghey in the days and weeks before she died.
