Teenage girls took selfies and posted them on Snapchat while they battered a woman to death with a television set, computer printer and a kettle, a court heard today.
Angela Wrightson, 39, was subjected to a 'sustained and brutal' assault before her half-naked body was found at her home in Hartlepool, in December, Teesside Crown Court heard.
Two teenage girls, who were aged 13 and 14 at the time of the killing, are accused of carrying out the attack, while the younger girl is said to have published a selfie taken at Ms Wrightson's home after the violence began on social media app Snapchat.
Ms Wrightson and the other girl, her best friend, could be seen in the picture and the older woman already had marks on her face, the court heard.
Both girls were grinning, but Ms Wrightson was not.
The body was sitting on a sofa in her front room, she was naked from the waist down,'Mr Campbell said.
The landlord dialed 999, and emergency services were called to the property. Forensic experts found shards of glass and gravel around the victim's 'private parts', and ash in her right ear.

Do I need to look at their selfies, or is it OK to make the usual assumptions?
Stuff like this NEVER happens in industrialized 1st world nations.
“Do I need to look at their selfies, or is it OK to make the usual assumptions?”
It appears to be in the UK, so “Teens” probably means muslim there.
Will English police want TVs banned now?
Someone got stabbed and the police wanted the citizens to turn in their knives.
WHAT HAPPENED England?
Maybe britian was never as GREAT as they said. wimps
That was the assumption I was making.
This happened in the UK. Their welfare system (even worse than ours) has created loads of feral white youth. So my guess is the usual assumptions don’t apply (no pics of the perps in the article).
Good thing this was in England where self defense is illegal and sensible gun laws prevent anyone but the agents of the government from ready access, otherwise two precious children could have been hurt!
They’re not showing their pictures,so what else can one conclude?
I don’t think so, this time.................
And yet Europeans still look down on us while seeing themselves as morally superior.
Hard to say. Blurred out photos in the police van look white.
They are minors, so no pics................
They look white from what I can see.
Seems to me they lost the right to privacy when they posted pics of themselves with the battered victim.
it’s in the UK, so who knows.
I believe they’re white trash, this is UK.
Northern part of Pakistan.
At least one of the perps is white.
"Later the younger girl contacted a friend using Facebook, jurors heard, and that witness went on to tell police that during the call she heard the defendant shout: “Go on (names older defendant), smash her head in, bray her, f***ing kill her.” The witness told police she thought she then heard laughing in the background."
The girls had let themselves in through Miss Wrightson’s unlocked front door at around 7.30pm and left after 11pm, jurors heard. They came back at around 2am the next morning before leaving a final time at 4am. Ms Wrightson may already have been dead by 11pm, the court was told. Between 11pm and 2am they chatted with a local teenager who asked why they had blood on their clothes, jurors heard. They told him they had both fallen over. He heard the older girl say: “We have to get back to the house, check if she is dead.”
Chavettes in training probably.
