TWO 15-year-olds have been arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of Brianna Ghey.

Brianna, who suffered multiple stab wounds, was tragically found dead on a path in Culcheth Linear Park yesterday, Saturday.

As part of ongoing enquiries, a boy and girl, both aged 15, have been arrested in connection with the incident.

They are currently in custody assisting police with their investigation.

Detective Chief Superintendent Mike Evans said: “A number of enquiries in relation to this incident are underway and we are doing all that we can to establish the exact circumstances of what has happened.

“At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that the circumstances surrounding Brianna’s death are hate related.

 “Patrols have been stepped up in the local area and officers will remain in the Culcheth area to provide reassurance and address any concerns that residents may have.

“I would ask anyone who has any information, no matter how big or small, that they believe could help with our investigation to get in touch.

“We are also keen for people and businesses within the local community to check any CCTV or dashcam footage for anything that may aid our investigation.”

A Home Office post-mortem examination is currently taking place to establish the cause of death after Brianna suffered multiple stab wounds.
