Convicted drug dealer beat teenager to death then went to the pub

A man accused of murder went to the pub after he had beaten a teenager to death.

Keiron Williams is currently standing trial at Liverpool Crown Court accused of murdering Michael Toohey at an internet café in the city centre alongside eight other defendants. The 18-year-old was killed after allegedly being chased into Mobiles Junction and Internet Café on Monument Place, off London Road, and battered by a gang who were "called in" by a 14-year-old boy in the early evening of April 16 this year

Jurors were previously told that the deceased had been pressured into selling drugs by a man referred to as "Gerry", with the incident coming against the background of a "war" between rival dealers. Giving his evidence from the witness box on Friday, Williams claimed that he had rushed to the scene to confront him after being told he had threatened the youth with a knife.
