Both came from 'normal backgrounds' and Ratcliffe, from Leigh, had a keen interest in karate as a child. The jury heard that the two were intelligent and high-functioning, both with parents who had steady and respectable jobs.

They were in it together and spurred each other on as they divulged harrowing plans of torture and death in thousands of disgusting WhatsApp messages. In a police interview, Ratcliffe revealed that Jenkinson called herself a santanist. From the age of 14, Jenkinson immersed herself in graphic videos of people being tortured, telling the boy: "I love watching torture vids. Real ones on the dark web." During the trial, the court heard how the girl had attempted to give Brianna an overdose of pain relief and that Brianna had indeed been ill, which her mother believed may have been appendicitis.
