In the wicked murder of poor Brianna Ghey, it’s not hyperbole to say the Devil is in the details. Thousands of text messages sent between her two teenage killers were divulged in a court case that describe a moral void in their lives that veers between the banal and the satanic.
It is clear that Brianna was not the first target for these would-be spree killers, obsessed with torture and death. Four other boys were targeted by her male and female assailants, both 15, prior to her murder. The girl, perpetrator ‘X’ in the court case, to protect her identity messaged the boy accomplice ‘Y’ when they were discussing ways of killing one of them: ‘If we kill (him) can I keep some things, a couple of teeth and an eye?’ In Brianna’s case when they discussed ways of killing her X opined, ‘Let’s just stab her. It’s more fun.’ And stab her they did.
