Eddie Ratcliffe, one of the teenagers convicted of murdering 16-year-old Brianna Ghey, has been denied permission to appeal his life sentence. Ratcliffe had argued that the trial judge did not adequately consider his immaturity and mental health issues, but the Court of Appeal found his proposed grounds for appeal unconvincing. Brianna was lured to a park and stabbed to death by Ratcliffe and co-defendant Scarlett Jenkinson, reflecting the motivations tied to her transgender identity.
