CCTV which snared three teen killers luring dad to his death rolled out across Greater Manchester borough

CCTV which caught three teen killers luring a vulnerable dad to his death has been rolled out across a Greater Manchester borough.

Chilling footage showed Liam Bailey, 19, Liam O'Brien, 17, and Harry Maher, 16, leading Scott Anderton to a secluded stretch of a Leigh canal before stabbing him 35 times. He was then shoved into the water and left to die.

Mr Anderton, 33, tried to pull himself back up by grabbing onto the bank, but soon lost consciousness and slipped back into the canal. They had spotted their victim alone in Leigh town centre during the early hours of March 25, last year, when Mr Anderton had been carrying a plastic bag and was wearing only one shoe.
