14:58Now PlayingNatasha Devon analyses the media coverage of Brianna Ghey's murder, particularly the depiction of her killers. Murderer Scarlett Jenkinson was described as "evil with a pretty face" by one newspaper. The ADHD and autism of fellow killer Eddie Ratcliffe was also leant upon by the press. Natasha says she will never understand the 'true crime-ification' of the case.
Serial killer-obsessed Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe may never be released, a judge warned, and will only be let out if a parole board permits it after they are deemed safe.
Jenkinson was given a minimum term of 22 years, while Ratcliffe got 20 years at Manchester Crown Court.
Jenkinson did not react as she was sentenced, and neither did Ratcliffe, who looked directly ahead.
The killers, both 15 at the time, had been found guilty of the "disturbing" plan to murder Brianna, 16, in a "frenzied and ferocious" knife attack.
