"Someone's son, someone's brother, has been taken for nothing. But will this deter people from carrying knives?"
Tracy James is standing in the open front door of her home on Skelmersdale's Digmoor estate with her pet dog barking behind her. Tracy's semi-detached house is close enough to the Digmoor Road dual carriageway that you can hear cars whizz past on one side of the road - while on the other a large police cordon has remained overnight.
The Skelmersdale community was devastated last night when 15-year-old boy Dylan Bragger brutally stabbed to death. The ECHO understands the boy was chased along the dual carriageway before he was killed.
