A candlelit vigil for schoolgirl Brianna Ghey - tragically found stabbed to death in a public park - has been organised for Manchester city centre. The gathering has been planned for Sackville Gardens at 7pm on Wednesday - one of dozens of similar vigils due to take place across the UK.
Brianna, a 16-year-old Year 11 pupil from Birchwood, Warrington, was found dead on a path in Culcheth Linear Park, Warrington, on Saturday, February 11. Police said she had been stabbed multiple times.
A boy and girl, both aged 15, have been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with Brianna's death. There's been no update as yet today - Tuesday - but Cheshire Police said on Sunday: "They are currently in custody assisting police with their investigation."
People are now being encouraged to attend Sackville Gardens in Manchester on Wednesday and light a candle in Brianna's memory. Organisers said they wanted people to come together as a community to mourn her death and 'show respect for her tragically short life'.
The vigils are being organised by action groups and members and allies of LGBTQIA communities. Other similar gatherings have been planned to take place from Belfast to Glasgow to Plymouth, including a vigil organised for tonight - Tuesday - in Liverpool.
Brianna was transgender, but police said on Sunday that 'at this time, there is no evidence to suggest the circumstances surrounding Brianna's death are hate related'.
In the wake of her tragic death, Brianna's family paid a heartfelt tribute to her, describing Brianna as 'strong and fearless'.
They said she was 'beautiful, witty and hilarious' and that a 'massive hole' had been left in their family following her death. In full, the statement issued through Cheshire
