A gang leader who ruthlessly ordered three shootings and an arson attack on a family's home was a boy of just 16, a court was told.
Harry O'Brien, now 17, who brought terror to the streets of Dingle, Liverpool, in a feud with two families, has been locked up for almost 10 years. Other members of his gang were also given custodial sentences.
O'Brien's youth means he would not normally be publicly named. But the ECHO report that they convinced a judge it was in the public interest to lift reporting restrictions in his case, so the extent of his crimes could be revealed.
