The 16-year-old death was labelled a 'targeted attack' by her loved ones. It came just days after she posted a TikTok video revealing she had been 'excluded from school.' Brianna was described as someone who 'brought a lot of laughter' and was looking forward to progressing with school. Her family say the death of 'strong, fearless and kind' Brianna has 'left a massive hole' in their hearts. She was found dead at around 3.13pm on Saturday, in Linear Park, Warrington. Police confirmed the 16-year-old, who went to Birchwood Community High School, was stabbed to death. Officers have alleged there is no evidence that Brianna was the victim of a hate crime.

The reports of alleged bullying came after the teen, who had amassed a large social media following, claimed she 'got excluded from school.' In a video on her now-deleted TikTok account, Brianna, wearing her school uniform, announced her exclusion. The video - reviewed by The Sun - was posted five days before her murder.
