Brianna Ghey case should ‘prompt parents to police children’s internet use’

Detective who oversaw investigation into teenage killers calls on parents to sharpen up internet awareness skills

The Brianna Ghey case should prompt parents to “sharpen up” their internet awareness and police what their children are viewing online, the detective who oversaw the investigation into her teenage killers has said.

Girl X – the 15-year-old who befriended Brianna and then plotted to kill her – had downloaded a special browser on her phone in order to access the dark web and watch snuff movies, the trial heard.
