House by murder scene could be tinned up due to 'drug dealing' as police seek court order

Police are seeking a court order to close up a house next to where a young man was shot dead.

Merseyside Police are seeking a closure order for an address in Lavrock Bank, Dingle - the street where Sam Rimmer was murdered on August 16 this year. An inquest heard Mr Rimmer, 22, was with a number of associates who "chased off" two men on an electric bike.

The riders then met up with another two men on a second bike, returned to the scene and opened fire at around 11.40pm, wounding Mr Rimmer in the chest. Bootle man Mr Rimmer did not live in Dingle and is believed to have been visiting friends at the time.
