Two 15-year-olds, a boy and a girl, have been arrested on suspicion of her murder and remain in custody, and Cheshire Police said one line of inquiry includes “whether this was a hate crime“.
Cops previously said there was no evidence to suggest the teen’s gender identity played a part in her killing..
People gathered on Tuesday evening for a candle-lit vigil in Bristol and in Liverpool, a few miles from where Ghey, who had a large following on social media site TikTok, died.
Further events organised by the transgender community are due to be held in London, Glasgow, Leeds and Belfast over the coming days.
A GoFundMe crowd-funding page supporting Ghey’s family has already topped £83,000 just a couple of days after it was set up.
Ghey’s family earlier issued a heartfelt tribute calling the teenager a “much-loved daughter, granddaughter, and baby sister”.
“She was a larger-than-life character who would leave a lasting impression on all that met her. Brianna was beautiful, witty and hilarious. Brianna was strong, fearless and one of a kind,” they added.
“The loss of her young life has left a massive hole in our family, and we know that the teachers and her friends who were involved in her life will feel the same.”
Police were scrambled to the park after Brianna was found with serious injuries.
Detective Chief Supt Mike Evans of Cheshire Police described the killing as a “targeted attack” on Brianna during a “busy day” at the park.
Some friends of Brianna have said she was bullied by her fellow classmates.
The headteacher at Brianna’s school, Birchwood Community High School, said they were “shocked and truly devastated” by her death.
Police are asking people and businesses in the community to come forward with any information they have and to check CCTV or dashcam footage.
Information can be reported online here, or by calling 101, quoting IML 1476832.

Two teenagers arrested after 16-year-old girl stabbed to death in Warrington
Murderer whose vile gang kidnapped, tortured & burned alive 16-year-old girl could walk free as parole hearing date set
A KILLER whose gang murdered a teenage girl while singing “burn, baby burn” could walk free after being granted a parole hearing.
Glyn Powell, 58, was convicted with three others for burning 16-year-old Suzanne Capper alive in Greater Manchester in 1992.

A spokesman from the Parole Board said a hearing is expected to take place around April 2023, reports the Mail.
After a thorough analysis of the crime, the culprit’s subsequent behaviour, and the effect of the murder on the victim’s family, a decision will be made.
Suzanne was lured to Jean Powell’s house in Moston on December 7, 1992.
There, Jean’s estranged husband and Anthony Dudson forced her down, shaved her head and eyebrows and forced her to clean up and throw away the mess.
The next day, Suzanne was taken to the nearby house of Bernadette McNeilly, another individual she considered a friend.
It was later revealed during the trial that she had been savagely beaten, tortured and tied to a bed over the course of a week.
Before torturing Suzanne, McNeilly would utter the chilling phrase “Chucky’s coming to play”, referencing the 1988 film Child’s Play about a serial killer who transfers his soul into an evil doll.
In the early hours of December 14, 1992, Suzanne was driven 15 miles to an isolated lane on the outskirts of Stockport in Greater Manchester.
She was pushed down, doused with petrol and set alight by killers including Glyn Poweell as McNeilly chanted “Burn baby burn! Burn baby burn!” from The Trammps song Disco Inferno.
She suffered 80 per cent burns and died from her injuries in hospital on December 18, 1992 – but managed to name her killers before losing consciousness.
Glyn Powell, who was 29 at the time of the murder, Jean Powell (now Gillespie), then 26, Bernadette McNeilly, 24, and Anthony Dudson, 17, were all found guilty of murder.
Gillespie, McNeilly, and Powell were sentenced to life with a minimum of 25 years.
Dudson was given a minimum term of 18 years – later reduced to 16.
Clifford Pook, Jean’s brother, and Jeffrey Leigh pleaded guilty to false imprisonment and were given 15 and 12-year sentences respectively.
McNeilly’s sentence was reduced by one year in 2013. Leigh’s sentence was reduced from 12 to nine years in November 1994.
McNeilly was paroled in 2015 after having her 25-year sentence cut by one year. Dudson was released in 2013. In 2017 Jean Gillespie, formerly Powell, was released.
A spokesman for the Parole Board said: “We can confirm the parole review of Glyn Powell has been referred to the Parole Board by the Secretary of State for Justice and is following standard processes.
“Parole Board decisions are solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public if released and whether that risk is manageable in the community.
“A panel will carefully examine a huge range of evidence, including details of the original crime, and any evidence of behaviour change, as well as explore the harm done and impact the crime has had on the victims.
“Evidence from witnesses such as probation officers, psychiatrists and psychologists, officials supervising the offender in prison as well as victim personal statements may be given at the hearing.
“It is standard for the prisoner and witnesses to be questioned at length during the hearing which often lasts a full day or more. Parole reviews are undertaken thoroughly and with extreme care. Protecting the public is our number one priority.”

16-Year-Old Morgan Nicholls Scores a Massive 233.6-Kilogram (515-Pound) Bench Press
In their free time, most 16-year-olds probably aren’t building their strength in the gym. Rather than polish up their staple lifts, they’re likely playing video games or hanging out with friends. Knowing this, it’s clear that powerlifter Morgan Nicholls is no average teenager. On Nov. 28, 2022, Nicholls shared an Instagram clip of himself successfully locking out a…

My 16-year-old son is caught up in county-lines drug-dealing and I’m worried sick
DEAR DEIDRE: I DON’T know how to save my teen son from a dangerous life as a drug dealer.
I know he’s being exploited, but nobody will help me.
He’s only 16 and since he got caught up in county-lines drug-dealing, he’s changed so much.
He keeps going missing and I know he’s taking goodness knows what substances himself.
I’m his 42-year-old mum, and worried sick.
When I told the police my son was involved in dealing, they didn’t do anything to help him or get him out of it.

I think they’re using him as bait to catch the drug lords he’s working for.
This has been going on for over a year. I even found drugs in my house.
My son was a lovely boy who fell in with the wrong crowd.
Now he’s a shadow of himself – thin, aggressive and angry.
