Watch: Brianna Ghey murder trial shown video of teenager on bus on day she was stabbed
CCTV of Brianna Ghey on the bus just before she was stabbed to death has been shown to jurors at the trial of the two 16-year-olds charged with her murder.
Brianna, 16, from Birchwood, Warrington, had been stabbed 28 times with a hunting knife in Culcheth Linear Park, near Warrington, on 11 February earlier this year.
A girl and a boy, both now aged 16, identified only as X and Y, are on trial for murder at Manchester Crown Court.
Both have pleaded not guilty and blame each other for the killing, the jury has heard. Neither defendant can be named because of their ages.
Distressing call to 999
On Thursday the jury was played a brief and distressing call to 999 made by the first people to see Brianna after she was attacked.
The call was made by Kathryn Vize, who had been walking her dog with her husband Andrew when they came across the dying 16-year-old down a path through woods in the park.
Beginning at 3.13pm, the 999 call from Vize, breathing heavily and clearly distressed, says, "Police and ambulance. I’m in Culcheth Linear Park. Somebody has been attacked. We have seen some of the attackers run away from the body. She’s very hurt."
Vize tells the operator her husband is going to wait with Brianna while she goes to the car park to direct emergency services.
The call heard Vize get increasingly distressed as she talks to the operator at one point says: "I think she’s been attacked. She may have been stabbed. There’s blood coming out of her back. Oh my God! Oh my God!"
The operator asks if Brianna is breathing to which Vize says "I don't know" several times before saying: "It’s awful. She looks dead to me. She’s dressed like a teenager. Oh God! Are they coming quickly? It’s a nightmare."
The call ends with the operator telling her multiple police units and paramedics are on the way.
After the call finished Mrs Justice Yip told jurors called for a break in proceedings.

Police interview 999 caller
After the jury returned to their seats they were shown police interviews with the Vize's the day after Brianna's death.
Mrs Vize described when she first saw the suspects saying: "When I first saw them I thought they were walking towards me but when I looked up he was stooping and I thought he’s putting a dog on the lead."
She said she later realised he had been standing "over the body."
She said the suspects walked away from them before starting to run.
Mrs Vize said: "It was just so suspicious. They obviously saw us and felt they had to go because their pace definitely quickened up when they saw us.”
In his police interview, which was also played to the jury, Mr Vize husband described seeing a couple walking in a field to their right at quite a fast pace.
He described them as “furtive” and “hurried” and said he made eye contact with the male but it was interrupted because he partially covered his face with a hood.
He said after seeing the two he thought 'what are we going to find', before seeing Brianna on the path.
Mr Vize told police he thought he saw Brianna’s chest move.
He added: "I bent down to try to see signs of life and obviously to speak to her to say 'hang in, we’re phoning the police'."

First policeman on the scene
PC Andrew Chadwick, from Cheshire Constabulary, told the jury he was on patrol in a vehicle when he was dispatched to the park after Vize’s 999 call.
He ran through the park to the scene and said he located Brianna in an "almost foetal position", lying on her front but not completely face down.
PC Chadwick said: "I rolled her on to her back and pulled her away from the stairs."
The officer said he felt warm blood on her neck with multiple wounds to her head, neck, body and back, and she was bleeding heavily with her clothing soaked in blood.
He could not detect a pulse but cut away her clothing and began chest compressions.
Paramedics arrived five minutes later and took over while PC Chadwick helped guide in an air ambulance to land in the field next to the park.
Brianna was pronounced dead at 4.02pm.
