8-year-old mafia 'ringleader' stabs trans girl as mom rushes to defend her

A woman who “gloated” after stabbing a transgender girl in a brutal revenge attack has been sentenced to youth detention, as her mother surprisingly defended her actions.

On February 10, 2023, an 18-year-old transgender girl was lured to a nightclub in Harrow, north-west London, where she was attacked by five young men. They stabbed her nine times, punched her, kicked her and stomped on her while shouting transphobic slurs at her.

The group responsible for the attack has already been condemned. Summer Betts-Ramsey, 20, who carried out the stabbing, was given a sentence of eight and a half years in youth detention, of which four and a half years must be served in custody. After the attack, Betts-Ramsey shared the images with laughing emojis and allegedly told his friends: “I’m going to jail… bro, I stabbed her 12 times.”

When confronted with a message that read: “Stabbing a girl because she’s trans… is disgusting,” Betts-Ramsey responded: “She deserved it.” Judge Philip Katz KC condemned the “abhorrent” assault, noting that it was motivated by a “distorted notion of revenge” and influenced by the victim’s gender identity.

In court, his defense attorney cited a troubled childhood, marked by domestic violence and child abuse, adding that he had been in and out of care since he was seven years old. Her mother, Linda, defended her, stating: “She is not a ringleader. “You don’t know the whole truth.”
