Chilling Bodycam Footage Reveals Arrogance of Teen Killers During Arrest
The bodycam footage of Scarlett Jenkinson, one of the teenage killers of Brianna Ghey, has been released by the police, capturing the moment of her arrest.
The video exposes Jenkinson’s sheer arrogance as she breaks down in crocodile tears, asking police, ‘Is it because I was the last person to see her alive?’
The footage also includes interviews with Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe, previously known as Girl X and Boy Y, providing a glimpse into their demeanor during the investigation.
Foiled Attempts to Spin Lies After ‘Frenzied’ Attack
Jenkinson and Ratcliffe, involved in a ‘frenzied’ attack that left Brianna Ghey stabbed 28 times, were captured on bodycam footage attempting to spin a web of lies to cover their tracks.
The attack followed weeks of messages between the pair, during which they compiled a list of five children they wanted to kill.
A handwritten note in Jenkinson’s room revealed the chilling details, including a reference to Brianna Ghey as the victim.
Arrests Followed by Hatching Plans to Evade Justice
Despite their foiled attempts, Jenkinson and Ratcliffe were arrested just over 24 hours after the brutal slaying of Brianna.
Bodycam footage captures their demeanor during arrest, with Jenkinson appearing to sob and questioning her status as a suspect, while Ratcliffe asserts, ‘I can explain.’
The video highlights their initial confidence and later withdrawal during the trial.
Cautious Approach in Court and Diagnosis Disclosures
During the trial, both killers displayed withdrawn behavior, playing with fidget spinners as witnesses testified. Ratcliffe, diagnosed with ‘selective mutism,’ communicated through pointing to a card, and Jenkinson, described as having ‘traits of autism and ADHD’ and ‘high levels of anxiety,’ played with fidget devices.
Post-trial disclosures revealed that Jenkinson did not have ADHD or autism but was diagnosed with conduct dissocial disorder.
Deeper Insights into Teen Killers’ Disturbing Behavior
The bodycam footage and trial proceedings provided deeper insights into the disturbing behavior of the teenage killers.
They had created a shortlist of potential targets and crafted a detailed plan, including cue words for the attack. The jury did not need to determine who stabbed Brianna but establish the intent to kill.
Cheshire Police emphasized Jenkinson as the ringleader, describing her as the one who befriended, betrayed, and ultimately lured Brianna to her death.
Detective Chief Superintendent’s Disturbing Observations
Detective Chief Superintendent Mike Evans of Cheshire Police expressed shock at the level of depravity and dehumanizing messages exchanged between the killers.
He described their thirst for killing as disturbing and questioned the motives behind their actions.
Despite the killers’ attempt to portray their plans as fantasy, Evans highlighted the evidence suggesting a clear plan, not a mere fantasy.
Teen Killers’ Overconfidence and Disturbing Revelations
The police chief noted that Jenkinson and Ratcliffe, despite appearing shy during proceedings, were highly functioning and intelligent children.
He emphasized their overconfidence and arrogance in believing they could take a human life without consequences.
The revelation of a disturbing plan, including a list of targets and detailed killing methods, showcased the cruelty and intent behind Brianna Ghey’s tragic murder.
