Little girl draws pictures for murdered dad hoping she will give him them one day

A little girl still makes cards for her murdered dad in the hope one day she will be able to give them to him.

Connor Dockerty was stabbed four times by a then 14-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, in a brutal street attack. The unarmed victim, aged just 23, staggered into a Huyton garden and with his last words said: "I'm dying - tell my kids I love them."

The dad-of-two's killer, now aged 15, was handed a life sentence, with a minimum of 14 years behind bars, at Liverpool Crown Court. Before the murderer was sent down, a police officer read out heartbreaking statements on behalf of Mr Dockerty's grieving family.
