Eddie Ratcliffe, a pupil at Culcheth High School at the time of the murder, was described by a fellow student as a role model who achieved top grades.

Described in one of Jenkinson's notebooks as intelligent but socially awkward, Ratcliffe was known to be a loner. According to neighbours, he never showed any signs of violence prior to the murder.<ref name="GeorgeThomas2024" /><ref name="CobhamTara2024" /> Ratcliffe had a fascination with knives and also collected blades; he bought the [[hunting knife]] used for the murder during a skiing trip to [[Bulgaria]].<ref name=":2" />

Twitter campaigns called for the UK government to issue a [[Gender Recognition Certificate]] to Ghey "so that she can have the dignity in death that everyone else in this world takes for granted".<ref name="Baitinger 15 2 2023" /> A petition circulated, reaching more than 13,000 signatures, for Ghey's death certificate to posthumously reflect her gender as female.
