A boy accused of the frenzied stabbing of a transgender teenager was merely an “extra” in a murder choreographed by his co-accused, a court has heard.

Brianna Ghey, 16, was stabbed with a hunting knife 28 times in her head, neck, chest and back in Linear Park, Culcheth, a village near Warrington, Cheshire, on the afternoon of February 11.
