 A woman suffered more than 100 injuries after she was beaten to death by two teenage girls using items including a shovel and a TV, a court heard. Angela Wrightson, 39, was found with more than 100 injuries after being battered with a variety of different implements, including a wooden stick, a TV set, a computer printer and a coffee table. Angela Wrightson's half-naked body was found by her landlord at her home in Hartlepool on 9 December 2014.

 Jurors were told the girls battered their victim in "a sustained and brutal attack" with a variety of implements including a kettle and glass ornaments. Now aged 14 and 15, the defendants had formed an intense relationship with each other and both had difficult relationships with their mothers, the court heard. Mr Campbell said the girls' friendship had "caused concern" to those caring for them and they were known to run away together. Wrightson had got herself a reputation for going to the local shop, just around the corner from Stephen Street, to buy cigarettes and sometimes alcohol for children whom the shop assistants would not serve. Jurors heard the violence had started by 21:00 and the younger girl took selfies of the defendants smiling with Ms Wrightson pictured in the background. Mr Campbell said she was "alive but not smiling and her face is marked". A message recovered from the younger girl to the older girl in October 2014 said: "We're not allowed no contact with each other. Prosecutor Nicholas Campbell QC said Ms Wrightson, 39, a known alcoholic with a "troubled history", was repeatedly beaten in the living room of her home by the teenagers. Took selfies 
 
 The jury was told Ms Wrightson was "well-liked when sober" and would give chocolates to young children. But she could be "difficult" when drunk and was known to police and social services, who once found her lying in the middle of the road, the prosecution said.
– At around 7:15pm on Dec. 8, 2014, prosecutors say two girls who were then 13 and 14 let themselves into the unlocked home of a woman in the UK, a woman known as an alcoholic who sometimes bought liquor and cigarettes for underage teens. At 7:30pm, the woman, Angela Wrightson, who was 39, returned home from the local shop in Hartlepool and was never seen alive again, reports the BBC. The circumstances surrounding her death are now the subject of an intense court trial expected to last five weeks in which the girls are accused of not just murder but torture. The girls were in the care of social services at the time and had troubled relationships with their mothers. Their relationship with each other was described as "intense." The first evidence of a problem was a Snapchat image one of the defendants posted around 9pm, in which Wrightson appears in the background not smiling and with visible, fresh marks on her face. The girls were caught on CCTV leaving the home around 11pm, were asked by a friend why they had blood on their clothes, and then returned from 2am to 4am. Upon leaving, they called police for a ride home, which resulted in another Snapchat image captioned, “Me and [name] in the back of the bizzie van again." The following day Wrightson's landlord found her dead body, sitting upright on a couch, naked from the waist down, with more than 100 injuries, reports the Guardian. Weapons used included a wooden stick riddled with screws, a TV, a printer, a coffee table, a kettle, and glass ornaments. The attack allegedly continued after Wrightson lost consciousness, at which point "further indignities were heaped" on her motionless body on the sofa. The girls reportedly told friends they attacked Wrightson after she threatened them with a knife.
