A 15-year-old boy has been found guilty of murder.
The youth - who cannot be named for legal reasons - beat Christopher Molloy to death in an early hours gang attack near to Bootle Strand. Jay Byrne, Joseph Byrne and the boy have been on trial at Liverpool Crown Court charged with murdering the 55-year-old security guard.
The two brothers were cleared of this charge by a majority this morning, Thursday, after three hours and 41 minutes of deliberations. But the teenager was unanimously convicted of murder by the jury.
