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.

Were guns in the U.K. really the problem?
WHAT HAPPENED England?
Maybe britian was never as GREAT as they said. wimps
My grandparents were both British, left England for a better life in America. I’m glad neither are alive to see both England and America destroyed. They must be turning circles in their graves.
Well, they show one picture with the faces blurred out and they appear to be white.
Let me be the first to call for greater TV, computer and kettle control. The UK should also have a waiting period to by TVs and computers and a national registration list for tea kettles.
Thats a picture of the victim, not the perp.
Looking at the last photo in the sequence at the web-site, all I could think was: What a sad, drab, depressing, place to live.
That’s the victim. Taken at a younger age.
That is a photo of the victim in her youth is it not?
The commie libs sure have made the world “a better place.”
First of all, this is horrid. And the girls deserve death themselves.
But I have to ask. Is that really a woman? Is she special - in any way? He/she?
Between the lines, it sounds like lesbians having a good time of it.
You took the words right out of my mouth. There is always a 5% chance or so that it is White Trash rather than the usual Hyenas, but generic titles tend to give it away when thevperps are the usual Hyenas.
That is true, but the law is the law, stupid as it may be...................
If that’s 39, then I’m 25.............................
Obviously England needs stricter gun laws or this sort of thing wouldn’t happen.
I assumed a USA crime, for which the UK Daily Mail is far superior to any US media outlet. It took place in Britain, so all bets are off.
They’re probably white: Britain’s welfare system has done a good job of turning the white working class into the British equivalent of America’s yutes.
