London, December 22: In a horrifying incident that has gripped the UK, two British teenagers have been found guilty of brutally murdering a 16-year-old transgender girl. Brianna Ghey, who identified as female despite being born male, suffered a frenzied and ferocious knife attack, enduring 28 stab wounds to her head, neck, back, and chest.

She had also developed an interest in serial killers, meticulously noting their methods. Her dark fantasies about killing and torture eventually led to the tragic encounter with Ghey.
