Hundreds gather for candlelit vigil honouring Brianna Ghey in Dublin

Hundreds of people gathered in Dublin city centre on Wednesday, 15 February, for a vigil honouring Brianna Ghey.

The 16-year-old, who was transgender, was found with fatal stab wounds in a park in Culcheth, Cheshire, on Saturday afternoon.

Police probing the stab murder have said they are investigating whether it was a hate crime.

Two teenagers, both aged 15, have been charged with her murder. They were remanded into custody by a district judge on Wednesday.

Rally attendees lit candles and held placards reading “Trans Rights Now” as they paid tribute to the schoolgirl.
