The killing of Rhys Jones:
There is no suggestion that 11-year-old Rhys Jones, who was shot dead in Croxteth, Liverpool, on Wednesday, was in any way involved with gangs. But the fact his killer, who police believe was aged between 13 and 15, had access to a gun will come as no surprise to anyone who [...]
