Twenty-eight stabs: the friendship that planned the murder
from True Crime Unmasked · host Obomedia Network
Twenty-eight stab wounds: the friendship that planned the murder: The homicide of Briana Gay in WarringtonA detailed manuscript with a list of five victims. A best friend who pretended for months while planning every move. Briana Gay, a 16-year-old trans teenager, stabbed 28 times in broad daylight by two schoolmates who wrote their murderous intentions in a notebook before carrying them out. On February 11, 2023, the impossible happened: the person she trusted killed her in a public park while witnesses looked on.In this episode, we explore how Scarlett Jackson meticulously planned the murder of someone she treated as a friend, how a previous poisoning attempt was ignored by the system, and why Eddie Ratcliffe carried a knife bought in Bulgaria days before the crime. We analyze revealing WhatsApp messages, the contradictory distribution of blood that questions who really wielded the knife, and a trial that did not publicly resolve who was the material executor.Victim: Briana Gay Date: February 11, 2023 Location: Clotet Linear Park, Warrington, United Kingdom Status: Convicted - Scarlett Jackson and Eddie Ratcliffe guilty of murder; life imprisonment- Scarlett Jackson wrote a criminal manuscript with a list of five victims before personally meeting Briana; the friendship was a deliberate construction for access.- The poisoning attempt on Briana on January 23, 2023, was ignored by educational authorities; Scarlett only received a suspension at her previous school without revealing the real victim.- WhatsApp messages from February 10 show Scarlett expressing a desire to see "pure horror" on Briana's face and Eddie asking if she would scream "like a man or like a girl" - evidence of shared intent.- The distribution of blood on Eddie's clothing far exceeds that of Scarlett, generating an unresolved contradiction about who materially executed the 28 attacks.Briana Gay, Warrington murder, 2023, trans teenager, criminal manuscript, ignored poisoning, premeditation, murderous intrigue, criminal minds, true crime, failed justice, true crime in SpanishIf you want to listen to this podcast without ads and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.© 2026 OBOMEDIA.
