Yet more awfulness being reported today I see. Dread to think what happened here. As a father of 2 girls, I can’t begin to imagine what the family are going through. RIP cry

I live literally round the corner (a minute walk) from Linear Park. As you can imagine the village is devastated and it still doesn’t feel real. Horrific. frown

Not an area I'd associate with stabbings.

Poor girl, I can't imagine what the family or even the local community deal with something like this.

LBC are reporting that the victim was a 16 year old transgender girl

Whether that is/isn’t a factor remains to be seen but regardless will I’m sure fan the flames around gender identity

( report remains to be confirmed by Police )

No word of that locally but doesn’t mean it’s not true…

We're local too - we could see the floodlights at the scene from our house. The village has felt really quiet since.

I don't know her personally but from what I've read Brianna was trans.

Awful. It's hard to imagine how all this has developed. I can't see it being a random attack.

Surreal isn’t it. When you see this sort of thing on the news it’s eye opening, but when it happens in your own village literally a stones throw away it’s hard to process.

How it can get to a point where 15 year olds are stabbing others multiple times is beyond me.

Absolutely shocking and heart breaking crime, my thoughts and condolences are with her family and friends frown

And to add much insult to injury, the Daily Mail have dead named her in their article and the times have retroactively edited their article to change reference to her from "teenage girl" to "transgender teenager", showing that there is no dignity even in death to these ghoulish bds.

For what very little it's worth, we will remember you Brianna.

Devil's advocate - given the police are apparently looking into whether it was a factor in the murder, it is kind of relevant to mention she was trans?

Yes, she is. Also, it’s the 15 year old girl who’s done the stabbing. Expelled from 2 high schools as a trouble maker.

All allegedly.

It’s close to me too. Drive past twice a day to work. Still cordoned off this morning.

I've had shifting thoughts on the reporting of her trans status, she was a girl, she was murdered, the daily mail looked to strip her of that dignity by dead naming and outing her. But also we have spent weeks with constant headlines on some of the most horrible criminals where transgender has been the prominent headline and constant talking point to malign the trans community. Constant articles for years portraying trans people as unreasonable, dangerous, taking rights and invading spaces This is the inevitable outcome of the stochastic terrorism that has been the mainstay of the MSM against trans people and I don't think the msm should get to brush that under the carpet.

The motivation for her murder are not yet known but it's inevitable that whatever they were their set to a background where trans people, trans women and girls in particular have been dehumanised and monsterd such that it's easier to cross that line to abuse and even murder

Rest in power Brianna

Deadnaming her is unacceptable. On its own it could be forgiven as a mistake in the rush to publish, but the outing makes it look more like malice. Were there suspicions of a hate crime I might understand, but the police have explicitly stated they have no evidence for this at this time. At best it shows colossal ignorance.

I can't see anywhere online where they've used her previous name? Isn't that what 'deadnaming' is?

There is a Police helicopter out now circling the scene. I don't believe they've found the weapon yet.

It's a tragic case and another one where you wonder how the hell anyone let alone kids end up doing this to other people.

I noticed most articles online including the BBC and Guardian are also mentioning that she was transgender.

I'd understand it if the Police think it was relevant to whatever happened but it does seem a bit odd to mention it otherwise.

It’s the way the press works. Pick any adjective - sex, colour, height, sex, nationality, mother-of-two, dog-walker, value of their house, city-worker. Some people say it personalises the victim others say it sensationalises the story. But it’s hardly odd nowadays. It would be more odd if it was not mentioned.

As an aside, I find it odd that the papers always seem to publish the person's sexual preference.

They are a person, pure and simple.

Isn't it like telling everyone what position I prefer, or how often I indulge.

The reality for a 16 year old is that at the trial and the inquest their legal identity is still going to be one thing and not the other.

You might get upset about it (and I see one person really piling on the wailing) but their name and status is going to be reported.

Whether it's actually relevant to what happened to them is something we'll find out in due course.
