Today we’ll hear that Boy Y thought Girl X’s alleged plan to kill Brianna was a joke - but that it went too far.

We’ll also explain what the Police found when they searched their bedrooms.

And how notes allegedly written by Girl X outlined the characteristics of serial killers. Both deny the murder.

The Trial takes listeners behind the headlines and into the courtrooms of some of the biggest criminal cases in the world.

The first series, 'The Trial of Lucy Letby' received more than 13 million downloads. Season Two focussed on the murder of Ashling Murphy, a 23 year old teacher from Ireland. Season Three will follow the evidence as the jury hears it in twice weekly reports from The Daily Mail's Northern Correspondent, Liz Hull, and broadcast journalist, Caroline Cheetham.

They'll take you into the courtroom to bring you the details as the evidence unfolds, to examine key moments and to carry out exclusive interviews with detectives, victims and experts.
