A man was accused of "touching" a teenager killer's girlfriend before he was beaten to death by a gang.
The now 15-year-old boy is currently standing trial at Liverpool Crown Court accused of murdering Christopher Molloy, as are Jay and Joseph Byrne. Jurors heard during the prosecution's opening yesterday that the youth, then aged 14, kicked his stricken victim's head "like a football" after he had been knocked out when the latter Byrne brother, 25, struck him with an "extremely forceful punch".
The 55-year-old then fell backwards and "cracked his head on the pavement", at which point these two attackers walked away and were caught on CCTV fist bumping. They then returned to the scene near to Bootle Strand with 26-year-old Jay Byrne, who also landed a kick to Mr Molloy's head as he lay unconscious in the street.
