A distressing 999 call made by a dog walker who found the body of transgender teenager Brianna Ghey has been played to a jury.
The brief call was made by Kathryn Vize, who had been walking her dog with her husband Andrew when they came across the dying 16-year-old down a path through woods in a park.
Brianna, 16, from Birchwood, Warrington, had been stabbed 28 times with a hunting knife in Culcheth Linear Park, near Warrington, on February 11 earlier this year.
A girl and a boy, both now aged 16, identified only as X and Y, are on trial for murder at Manchester Crown Court.
Both have pleaded not guilty and blame each other for the killing, the jury has heard. Neither defendant can be named because of their ages.
Beginning at 3.13pm, the 999 call from Mrs Vize, breathing heavily and clearly distressed, says, “Police and ambulance. I’m in Culcheth Linear Park. Somebody has been attacked. We have seen some of the attackers run away from the body. She’s very hurt.”
The female call operator checks the location.
Mrs Vize said: “She’s halfway down some stairs. She’s bleeding heavily. She’s blood on her legs and on her back. She’s really hurt.
“We thought it was a dummy at first. I don’t want to touch her either. I don’t know if she’s alive.
“She did twitch before. It’s an absolute mess.”
