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 UK lost three times as many men as the USA by percentage. In France, the remaining real men (after WWI) fought an unsupported underground resistance and many died.
We are still seeing the consequences of all those good men killed in WWI and WWII. In fact, instead of being encouraged, men that show strength today are ostracized and drugged since they are teens.
